A Few Words on My Paintings;

As man became acquainted with nature, he realized he was not strong enough to overcome her and he got scared…
He decided to make a unilateral agreement with her…
He intended first to conquer and control the power that created him in order to secure food, mate and shelter…
He then thought and thought and thought…
He said to himself “I have to invent a tool that would be valid everywhere yet be definitive and permanent so that it could be used by the posterity”…

 

Finally he created the tool he wanted.
He materialized the nature with his tool and adorned it with his feelings.

Thus, he assigned a measure and value to whatever he sees or not, touches or not, loves or not, fears or not… in short to anything and everything, both material and emotional.

He knew very well that this was a unilateral agreement,
it did not mean anything for nature, but he couldn’t care less… He was very happy and he regained his self-confidence because the tool that he created was unique in nature…
First he measured the land he walked on, assigned a value to it, then he adapted this tool in the same way to his emotions, then to the concepts, and finally everything materialized before his eyes…

He sat back and contemplated, the tool he created, had given a meaning to his world. Now he had wisdom, he felt strong but more importantly he had control over his fears and his future… He could look into the future confidently!...

Or could he?….

The tool he created: GEOMETRY, the value and measurement system he created.
Result: Embodiment of values …
