Art is nature. Thoughts, images, sayings, sentences, drawings, plans… Property of us and understanding, consideration, respect is established as an artistic multilog of pronouns and reflections, side views, openings above and below, tests, trials, and generalizations to seek, let alone find that SOMETHING. Naturally artistic. Directly, with or without curves; gradually and consistently. Being either an epic, a drawing a painting, and a sculpture.
Our nature is editing, putting in place, depicting, performing, acting, but let it be with awareness and consciousness. It can continue and stop in an instant. And it goes on in conversations, demonstrations, presentations, discussions, and reflections that speak Art and think Nature. Onomatopoeia, metaphor, mimetics are getting to know each other as the reality of the given. The environments in which we live are not only realistic interiors but also imaginations of reality.
Oils on canvases, watercolors, bronze, thoughts on works that sunbathe and hide, that tell and ask, answer and fulfill, set. Consist of. They compose Art and themselves, come out and liberate, discover and reveal. They depict the world, summarize, document, archive, remember, accept. The way we are. Even in our mirrors, the simultaneous reflections of the being within us. The journey inward is a search. Browsing. Awareness. Notifying. Reflection. Nature, art, and us. We are here. Is it-Will it be?
