Painting in the estate of Gurullón


During the first half of December, I had the opportunity to visit the latest exhibition of paintings by Manuel Kayser Zapata Jaén entitled Painting in the estate of Gurullón . I wish, through this letter to share with you the experience of seeing these pictures.


Manuel Kayser is an artist of solid training. Good knowledge of the profession of a painter, his style does without any unnecessary artifice, all depicted without details, from a second, third place. This flight clearly willfully makes each table gateway to the world of dreams. Although support is figurative it is not so much paint reality as to represent what lies beyond it, connecting with the spiritual reality that lies beyond the appearance of things.

Each of his paintings is an act of love, communion with the environment. The painter becomes an intermediary between two worlds, that guides our soul so that it can read in the heart of things and come into connection with that other reality apart, secret and divine, which contains everything around us. Every plant, every flower, every furrow in the earth becomes a haven of peace, food for our spirit. Naked baggage and drunk in an eternal present, look through These paints the soul of the land of Jaén to merge with it.

Sometimes the spider painter and tear the stand as if to expose the secrets that lies beyond the forms, which gives an idea of \u200b\u200bthe passion of the creative process. A passion that is loving, balanced, as is, for the sweetness of the forms and the silence of color.

While watching the pictures of Manuel Kayser, reminded me what I explained, many years ago, one of my teachers, the painter José López Arjona tosiriano: "The good painter is one who draws the highest perfection a bouquet of flowers, because the result can be so cold that creates a barrier between viewer and work, but with a few lines and spots, although apparently reports, ensures that they can evoke the aroma of those plants only to watch them.

Email The Real Santa Claus

Those illustrators ...

... .....
The Odyssey, Myths and Legends, The Mirror of Narcissus, The Travels of Marco Polo ... These are books that I met when I was 10 years of my father's hand, which, as professor of EGB 5, that years (1977) suggested we read some of them in order to stimulate our learning. Then I followed with the municipal library in my village, Porcuna. These books were for many children of my generation the first steps to learn the ancient myths of the Mediterranean, medieval legends, the first contact with the mysteries of the Far East ... They were illustrated by artists who developed the most significant part of their work around decades of the 50 and 60: Alice and Martin Provens, Eduardo Santonja, Lorenzo Goñi, Adam Ferrer, José Bort ... In my work as a painter, is now a role model, especially Provens and Lorenzo Goñi, gorgeous artist, born in Jaén, of which I had occasion, ten years later, to see a great retrospective exhibition. I think in a sense, I have thought of something like the story it tells Paulo Coelho in his book "The Alchemist", then I go away to study art for so long and visit museums in different countries, I find that the style drawing that fills what was really always there before my eyes in the books of the municipal library in a humble village in the Andalusian countryside. ....

How Long Does It Take To Get Utahs Ccw

Greco-Buddhist Art (Art of Gandhara)

.

In primitive Buddhism, representing the figure of Buddha was a taboo, so in the paintings and reliefs where it must appear His figure was replaced by symbols such as footprints, an umbrella, etc. The first Buddha statues were made by East, but by Greek artists' studios have migrated to land in Pakistan and Afghanistan following the conquests carried out by Alexander the Great. This artistic style that develops between the ages IV and V BC AD, lays the groundwork for what will be the Buddhist sculpture to be held from Afghanistan to Japan. It is possible that those who see the Eastern traditions and Buddhism as something new, outside the West, they can be surprisingly two thousand years ago the Olympian Gods and the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas from the East were represented in same artistic style of European origin: the Hellenistic. Art Greco-Buddhist Art of Gandhara and flourished for many centuries along the Silk Road. Even today, after so long, we still surprising sweetness and peace that emanate from these statues.

Pure Land

Here is the
Pure Land Pure Land is here,
full smile
care and live in the present moment.
The Buddha is seen in an autumn leaf,
Dharma is a cloud floating
the body of the Sangha is everywhere,
my true home is here.

Inspiring,
the flowers open;
exhaling, I am aware

swaying bamboo.
My mind is free
and joy of each moment.


Poem of the Vietnamese monk Thich Nhat Hanh


Thich Nhat Hanh explains in this poem and beyond our desires and our fears, to live with full attention the moment this is the path through which we connect with our inner peace. So to a simple Zen monk, the world becomes a paradise (the Pure Land of Sukhavati).
is the same lesson that Westerners find in works like "The Alchemist" by Paulo Coelho, where the protagonist, after traveling the world looking for a treasure , just being in the where he always lived, or even in the philosophy of the Kabbalists: "Men think that paradise is in heaven, but the angels know that paradise on earth."
I recommend a book: Our true home. The path to the Pure Land written by Thich Nhat Hanh, published by Editions Oniro Castilian, http://www.edicionesoniro.com/
