Do you speak ‘Twitter’ ?

What can I say? Blogging is a privilege, but blogging is also a luxury, which few can afford. Blogging means ‘time’ and a ‘longer meaningful statement’ – both goods more pricey than pure gold.
Few years ago, thousands of those caught in the Web for good were thrilled by this very opportunity – to be one’s [...]

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 (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 [...]

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 [...]

I dare so I am… (Whilt 17)

Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it.  Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. -Johann von Goethe
Courage is a strange thing – like fire: too little and you don’t exist; too much and… you can cease to exist as well… it’s self-perpetuated under the one condition – it’s got the fuel [...]

Switching the world off… (Whilt 16)

Yep, it happens all the time. Don’t you believe me? How long can this article of mine hold your full attention? I mean the ‘full monty’ really; or – maybe, by any chance you’ve already started to ’scan’ this very work of mine produced with an effort with the light speed (as most of us [...]

Few words on communication and loneliness…(Whilt 15)

Don’t know why, yet I don’t feel like writing. Don’t feel like using words at all… Words are unnecessary stains on silence…That’s S. Beckett’s…
Out of sentiment probably, I’ve watched once again ‘Lost in Translation” by S. Coppola. An intelligent effort portraying deep loneliness among crowds and despite ‘having a relationship’. All because the most important [...]

Land that plane on Hudson…(Whilt 13)
