Where you can find me (Whilt 19)

Remember this one of my series – Whilt – What Have I learned Today?
Trying to come back to it – little day-to-day discoveries of a starry-eyed kid, which lives in me (despite my daring attempts to evict it) and within all those interesting people I’ve met.
I followed that link – contemplating [...]

Studying Art (20) – some loose thoughts…

Being ‘graduate’… I mean, how ridiculous it feels…
Being ‘graduate’ in Fine Art… I mean, one cannot get it more absurd… There is no ‘graduating’ from art, unless one can ‘graduate’ in ‘being a human being’…
Having first show, first chat with a journalist, first reviews from the public – at once one’s is able to see [...]

Studying Art (18) – Getting over it…

What a year it was… I mean – not easy one… In fact – bl…y difficult…
Studying art is a bit like diving in Le Grand Bleu… further down, the less light and more dense matter… Waters around get less inviting, more frightening and yet – strangely captivating, with that pulsating, magnetic force, which commands you [...]

Studying Art (17) – Why do you paint?

I’ve been challenged with this innocent question recently, and though I came up with an immediate answer at that moment ‘of truth’, I still keep pondering over it now, as if looking for a deeper, fuller view…

Why do you paint? Why do I paint?
My photographs say most of what I want to convey, my writing [...]

“Fractal Ontology” – Blog on WordPress

Here is the new fantastic blog I’ve just discovered – FRACTAL ONTOLOGY. ‘Powered’ by a formidable erudition and the searching spirit by two young guys: Joseph Weissman and Taylor Adkins.
These two gentlemen – graduates of philosophy, have an ambition to.. and here, if I may dare to give the voice to them:
So, basically, our idea [...]

Studying art (16) -Humility

It will sound like a pure didacticism, yet – this appears to be the new discovery of mine: art is one of the best teachers of humility one can find.
I’ve been going through stages of naive, dreamy escapism, of unconditional passion, of playing tricks and games; I’ve used artistic means to express how much I [...]

Integrity and disintegration… (Whilt 18)

From time to time, and recently quite often, I catch myself as being innocently and profoundly ignorant as to the meaning of some concepts, ideas, words, phrases… It’s got something to do with the English as an adopted language; even if it’s used completely naturally and fluently – there is always that surreal quality of [...]

Art is no more… (Whilt 12)

Art is no more. It doesn’t matter any more. Few decades from now on, without any new input of any new visual expression would do us all great. We are all over-loaded, the world is over-saturated with pictures.
Conservators and museums do their best, and in 2500 the human race still marvels over Massacio, enjoys Matisse, [...]

The IQ test… (Whilt 11)

Attention:
The original post has been deleted.
———————————————————————————————————————————
Well, what I have done was to participate in one of those frivolous IQ tests available in an abundance on the Web, than – being over-enjoyed with the results (haven’t you known, that you are a genius, after all – now everything is clear…) then (goodness gracious…) I have put [...]

More ‘commercial approach’… (Whilt 9)

What have I learned today (Whilt) ?
Always listen to your friends, even, or – especially when you disagree. My wise, experienced friend has the enjoyable approach of Renoir who was quoted to say to his dealer: I want to paint stunning pictures that you can sell for very high prices… When having a little argument [...]
