If (I don't want to call it art because it remains a bit difficult for me, it is practically the same thing I said about music regarding the use of the term artist) the "concept" that one wants to

express, precisely through "conceptual movement," is alternative; that is, it reflects both the reality of what is taken as a starting point, as an object, or as a message, and also its own point of view which can also be the point of view of many, only that whoever looks, whoever listens, probably hadn't thought of such a conception. One could speak of something that is proposable, but the risk, as you have already anticipated, is resorting to these methods to pass oneself off as creative or alternative.

The problem is also something else: if I take a drum kit, and for how I conceive it I see something completely different from the image in front of me, I must find a convincing way to support

my position, and I think this can occur if two simultaneous factors are present: the spontaneity of thought that leads to "visions" detached from what the object under

examination seems to be, and at the same time a rational and almost "disorienting" explanation of the perception one has of this object.

Everyone, or almost everyone, can think they can "see" something that goes beyond the image presented before them, but precisely the difficulty lies in convincing others of this, because the balance

between fantasy and the relationship with reality is unstable.

Compliments Zadra, I had missed this topic. Truly very good. It seems to me that you have a weakness for David Garrett

...Who, me? I'm afraid so. I really like his way of playing. His looks are a pleasant accessory.

Thank you for the compliments, painting is my #1 passion and I always dedicate myself to it with a certain enthusiasm. I would like to have more time to paint large-format paintings; at the moment I have to limit myself to a watercolor or a pencil drawing every now and then.

...Sorry, but I don't understand the question... I like surrealism, Dalí too, but why should I paint like him? ^^;

Thanks! ^^

Sorry if I'm late, between work and everything else I have less time than I would like to hang around the forums. Also because my new piano teacher makes me work quite a lot. After 5 months of lessons I am starting to see some results, so I am enthusiastic.

This painting is from a few years ago, size 100x120. The model who inspired it is still Maria Callas (that woman fascinates me), but it doesn't want to be exactly a faithful portrait.

Then, as you can imagine, the umpteenth portrait of Mr. Garrett (besides, it is thanks to him that I started playing again, so he has earned it). I am a maniac, but at least I'm not infesting the whole forum

Another panel is buzzing in my head, this time inspired by the short story "The Sandman" by Hoffmann. I hope to be able to realize it.

But Zadra, you are wonderful!!!! Congratulations!!!! I am only reading these posts now, otherwise I would have intervened sooner. I humbly do some watercolors on vacation and for me painting is very liberating!!!! Well done, you are "inside Art" and you have a profound sense of chromatism. Music, painting, poetry.....cooking...everything is connected.....so you will cook well too!!!!!!!! Congratulations again
