On Desire

Distrust anyone who tries to convince you that you should give up all desires in order to be happy. Desire is the driving force of the evolution and innovation. It enriches your mind, expands it, motivates you to seek and explore unchartered territories. Honoring the desire to create means you care. It opens your heart to possibility and allows you to see told landscapes with new eyes.

 Everything that has been created, made or invented, has come into existence because of somebody's imagination and desire to turn it into reality. Desire signals the expansion of your capacity to mentally conceive a possible future. There are no rules or limits for those who can see their new reality and reverse engineer it back into existence.

“We are told that talent creates its own opportunities. But it sometimes seems that intense desire creates not only its own opportunities but its own talents.” ― Eric Hoffer

 Everything you desire is already hidden in your consciousness as a potential projection of who you are. If it was not yet fully formed in a vision, you would not be able to sense it or access it. It is important to know and believe that you are never inspired towards something that does not have the potential of giving you everything that you want.

 Honor your desire by all means. In order to be selfless you need to be sufficiently self-centered. Your desire is your greatest hope for reconnection to a higher creative intelligence. If you have a talent, there is a demand for it. Otherwise, you would not have it in the first place. If you're passionate about it, you definitely need to follow this resonance because it will lead you forward. The higher creative intelligence talks to you through your desire. Listen, be present.

 Life becomes your personal lab for miracles when your desire and your belief are in the same place, carrying the same energy of faith and confidence. There is no greater way to pray or ask for something than evoking the feeling that you already are in a possession of it. That it is already yours. You claim it boldly through desire, that is by seeing it, feeling it and becoming one with it.

Imperfectly Crafted

Perhaps you feared
You.
You
In me
With me
Through me
Around me
Caught up in our
Forever.
So
You
Banished
All memories of
Us
Into an exile of
Parallel realities
Where no
Future is
Safe or
Possible.
Yet
The present of our
Past
Bleeds through
These imperfectly crafted
Dimensions
Reminding
You
Of our
Unavoidability.

On Belonging and Critical Thinking

Lately, I’ve been thinking about the tension between critical thinking and the desire to be accepted and belong. Somehow my mind always seems to circle back to one particular issue: the price many are prepared to pay just to feel they belong. To them, avoiding standing alone at all costs often overrules the damaging impact social pressure can have on the ability to perceive clearly and think objectively. Neil Postman, one of the most eloquent media theorists and a cultural critics of the 20th century, claimed that every technological innovation has its own agenda. Once we adopt the new invention, we become (mostly without realizing it!) part of its manner of dictating the rules of reality. The same, I believe, holds true for any system, culture, tradition, community, country and policy, when embraced in a blind and desperate rush. In order to benefit from it, we’re required to comply with its postulates. In order to be accepted, we’re often asked to leave out most of what makes us “us”…

What do artists actually do?

I've not written much lately as I was busy completing a series of paintings and corresponding with galleries. During the pleasant busyness of the process, it occurred to me that I wanted to write a few words about what I feel is that artists actually do. Here is a little impression of my insights, written at once without editing or censoring. It felt good to share it.

Can you imagine a world without art? Without colors, paintings, sculptures, architecture...?A grey minimalistic world that would not tolerate variety or abundance? How strange it would be if everyone were focused solely on producing objects of  'practical' value, without a sense of aesthetics or thinking about design. I wonder if innovation would be possible in such a rigid reality. Or whether one would have the drive and the imagination to think foward, to think exponentially, making unexpected leaps and connections between concepts.
