The soul aids the body, and at certain moments, raises it. 

It is the only bird which bears up its own cage.

"Lumea contemporană doreşte confort, doreşte o viaţă de abuzuri supusă apetitului. 
Oamenii se încurcă în propriile lor lucrări şi aspiraţii. 
Nu se mai deosebeşte binele de rău, nici lumina de întuneric. 
Aparenţele înşelătoare sunt mai atractive decât esenţele.
 Renaşterea cere simplitate şi profunzime, cere o mai mare apropiere de natură, 
atât în sens material, cât şi spiritual." 
Ernest Bernea

waiting for spring to come for good

by ontheabsenceoflight

It’s surprising how many persons go through life without ever recognizing that their feelings toward other people are largely determined by their feelings toward themselves, 
and if you’re not comfortable within yourself, you can’t be comfortable with others.

Do you love me enough that I may be weak with you? Everyone loves strength, but do you love me for my weakness? That is the real test. 
Alain de Botton


Every one interprets everything in terms of his own experience. 
If you say anything which does not touch a precisely similar spot in another man’s brain, 
he either misunderstands you, or doesn’t understand you at all.
 Aleister Crowley

THAT IS WHY LOVE AND BEAUTY…

When you look upon another human being and feel great love toward them, 
or when you contemplate beauty in nature and something within you responds deeply to it, close your eyes for a moment and feel the essence of that love or that beauty within you, inseparable from who you are, your true nature.
 The outer form is a temporary reflection of what you are within, in your essence. 
That is why love and beauty can never leave you, although all outer forms will.

 Eckhart Tolle

Spring Art Salon, Van Gogh Grand Cafe


Cu ocazia Spring Art Salon, imi puteti gasi o parte din lucrari la Van Gogh Grand Cafe, in perioada 29-31 martie :)

Mai multe detalii in pagina evenimentului - Spring Art Salon- 3 zile de arta activa in centrul Bucurestiului

Comunitatea de arta va invita sa participati la Spring Art Salon, 
manifest de arta activa si itineranta desfasurat in Bucuresti. Timp de trei zile, intre 29 si 31 martie, veti putea admira in jur de 30 de artisti ai comunitatii de arta, in diferite locatii din zona centrala a Bucurestiului.

Creat in jurul conceptului de arta activa, Spring Art Salon se adreseaza atat artistilor care vor avea posibilitatea sa interactioneze cu un public diferit de cel al galeriilor de arta, cat si publicului, care va intalni arta in locuri comune acestuia.

Pe parcursul celor trei zile vor fi expuse un numar mare de lucrari, diferite ca tehnici si stiluri artistice. Diversitatea lucrarilor alese in cadrul expozitiilor va contribui astfel la revolutionarea spatiilor conventionale din Bucuresti si transformarea lor in spatii gazda de intampinare a spectacolului artistic.

Spring Art Salon reprezinta pentru comunitatea de artisti din Romania un mijloc nou de interactiune cu publicul. Artistii isi doresc astfel sa ajunga cat mai aproape de privitor, arta intampinandu-l tocmai in spatiile pe care acesta le frecventeaza.

Evenimentele din cadrul expozitiilor au ca punct central de intalnire locuri active de dialog cu publicul. Tocmai de aceea Spring Art Salon este un proiect de durata prin care comunitatea de arta isi propune sa creeze si sa transforme cat mai multe locatii din Bucuresti in expozitii deschise publicului larg.


In circuitul Spring Art Salon: Van Gogh Grand Cafe, Hotel Tempo, Hotel Trianon, BRUNO, Galeria Horatiu Malaele

Intalnire cu artistii:

Vineri, Hotel Tempo, ora 19.30
Sambata: Van Gogh Grand Cafe & Bruno, ora 19.00
Duminica: Hotel Trianon, ora 17.00

Music is a moral law. It gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, 
flight to the imagination, a charm to sadness, gaiety and life to everything. 
It is the essence of order and lends to all that is good and just and beautiful.
Plato

 Every one of us is losing something precious to us. 
Lost opportunities, lost possibilities, feelings we can never get back again. 
That’s what part of it means to be alive. But inside our heads 
— at least that’s where I imagine it — 
there’s a little room where we store those memories. 
A room like the stacks in this library. 
And to understand the workings of our own heart 
we have to keep on making new reference cards. 
We have to dust things off every once in a while, let fresh air in, 
change the water in the flower vases. 
In other words, you’ll live for ever in your own private library.
Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore

Room with a view. 
my studio, work in progress...



Water does not resist. Water flows. 

When you plunge your hand into it, all you feel is a caress. 

Water is not a solid wall, it will not stop you. 

But water always goes where it wants to go, and nothing in the end can stand against it. Water is patient. Dripping water wears away a stone. 

Remember that, my child. Remember you are half water. 

If you can’t go through an obstacle, go around it. 

Water does.

 Margaret Atwood, The Penelopiad 

When you make that bold declaration and begin moving in the direction of your highest becoming, you will be faced with your Dark Side.

In the end, only three things matter:
how much you loved, how gently you lived,
and how gracefully you let go of things not meant for you.

Un proiect fotografic frumos, de suflet , a artistei Alisa Tarciniu, pentru si despre mame, la libraria Carturesti, deschis din 8 martie.
Multumesc Alisa pentru tot!








Mesajul meu era acesta :

Sunt femeie. Artist. Si Mama.
Insa aceasta din urma calitate imi completeaza si imi contureaza esential universul emotiilor. Iubirea incepe cu primele imbratisari ale mamei. Si creste. Si se dezvolta intr-un limbaj propriu fiecarui individ.
Ma gandesc adeseori la cei doi copii ai mei in legatura cu limbajul iubirii pe care il daruiesc ca mama, in special la fiul meu, pentru ca este baiat si inteligenta emotionala se invata. 
Stiu ca are toate calitatile de a supravietui societatii noastre, si toate caracteristicile unui tanar baiat in devenire. Imi pun intrebarea cum sa-i hranesc si sa-i educ sensibilitatea, cum s-o constientizeze mai bine si s-o vada cu ochii mintii in ceilalti oameni, in natura feminina fireasca a femeilor.
Pentru ca ne invatam copiii sa fie competitivi dar prea putin ii invatam despre compasiune si daruire. Avem falsa senzatie ca acestea se dezvolta de la sine.
Il iau de mana si ii arat martisoarele hand-made cumparate pentru a le darui celorlalte fete din clasa lui. Il rog sa le atinga, sa se uite cu atentie cum au fost pictate si sa-si imagineze cum cineva a pus suflet si efort sa realizeze acest mic obiect menit inspre bucuria destinatarului.
Delicatetea este o calitate a sufletului. Nu o slabiciune. Sa nu o ignoram. 
Sa o cultivam mai bine. 
Frumusetea lucrurilor exista in inima celui ce vrea sa le priveasca.

Toate acestea sunt ca soapta mamei in inima copilului ,zi de zi , soapta care va deveni la un moment dat o voce a adultului de maine. 
Prin dragoste si daruire necondtionata de mama.

There’s a bluebird in my heart that wants to get out
but I’m too tough for him,
I say, stay in there, I’m not going to let anybody see you. 
 
Charles Bukowski

Unease, anxiety, tension, stress, worry—all forms of fear—
are caused by too much future, and not enough presence. 
Guilt, regret, resentment, grievances, sadness, bitterness, and all forms of non-forgiveness are caused by too much past, and not enough presence.
Eckhart Tolle

As you think, you travel, and as you love, you attract. 
You are today where your thoughts have brought you; 
you will be tomorrow where your thoughts take you.

Find yourself and express yourself in your own particular way. 

Express your love openly. 

Life is nothing but a dream, and if you create your life with love, 

your dream becomes a masterpiece of art.

Don’t say you don’t have enough time. 
You have exactly the same number of hours per day that were given to Helen Keller, Pasteur, Michaelangelo, Mother Teresa, Leonardo da Vinci, 
Thomas Jefferson, and Albert Einstein.

Things are sweeter when they’re lost.
I know—because once I wanted something and got it. 
It was the only thing I ever wanted badly, Dot, and when I got it it turned to dust in my hand.

Art is confession; art is the secret told…But art is not only the desire to tell one’s secret; 

it is the desire to tell it and hide it at the same time. 

And the secret is nothing more than the whole drama of the inner life.

 Thornton Wilder
