The
Artist has a
responsibility in front of his fellow man. In an epoca axis such as ours,
where the spiritual values are constantly oscillating, where civilization is
threatened with death, were we are invaded with an obsession for profit,
gain and pleasure which condemns its own feelings of art, he should
pass between them and their slogans. The artists are the last to know that
certain truths neither value money or priveleges - They are without price.
Because we are in a century of speed and consumption, we should say: Watch
the wheat grow, Observe all of life. Only the artist, cannot remake
humanity, but at least should know through his silent search that the luck
of everyone plays itself out here and there in all parts.
Alfred Manessier.
I am alone in a strange
city and know no one,
nor do I understand the tongue they speak.
But someone shines suddenly, in the midst of the multitude,
like the sudden flash of a word lost in the page or
or a pasture hidden in the bosom of the earth.
Eduardo Galeano, "Ventana sobre
la ciudad (II)"
"My painting is based on the freedom to manifest creativity in all of
its facets, in this activity I have discovered the relation of each form
expressed, with my consciousness and the collective consciousness. Each of
my works is like a personal mandala. It is the way to begin a journey which
opens those doors which return to myself, to free me, and connect me with
those profound dimensions, beyond the physical, where I can escape the
mediocracy and ordinariness of daily life."
