Arthur Schopenhauer / Igor Zenin | Citazioni

Ogni giornata è una piccola vita,

ogni risveglio una piccola nascita,

ogni nuova mattina è una piccola giovinezza...

Igor Zenin

La crisi secondo Albert Einstein

"Non pretendiamo che le cose cambino se continuiamo a farle nello stesso modo.

La crisi può essere una vera benedizione per ogni persona e per ogni nazione,

perché è proprio la crisi a portare progresso.

La creatività nasce dall'angoscia, come il giorno nasce dalla notte oscura.

È nella crisi che nasce l'inventiva, le scoperte e le grandi strategie.

Giorgio De Chirico

Nazim Hikmet: Sei la mia schiavitù, sei la mia libertà..

Sei la mia schiavitù, sei la mia libertà

sei la mia carne che brucia

come la nuda carne delle notti d'estate

Sei la mia patria

tu, coi riflessi verdi dei tuoi occhi

Katarzyna Kurkowska

Michael Gorban, 1956

Russian painter Michael Gorban was born in Russia. He studied art for 21 years with the finest of Russian artists and by age 30 his paintings were hanging alongside those of Dali, Kandinsky and Chagall in the prestigious Hermitage museum in Leningrad.
In 1990 Gorban left everything behind and emigrated to Israel. Today he is considered a first-rate Israeli artist, as well as being prominently featured with three of his paintings in the national album of Russian art history as one of the young artists to impact the 20th century between 1960 and 1980.
"Painting is a sensual experience", claims Gorban from his studio near Tel Aviv. "I will not sign my name until I am completely satisfied.... I have never painted under duress or according to order. My success comes from people feeling the same satisfaction that I myself felt upon completing the painting".

L'Abbraccio ~ VideoArt

Peter Wever, 1950

"Quanti significati sono celati dietro un abbraccio.. Che cos'è un abbraccio se non comunicare, condividere e infondere qualcosa di sé ad un'altra persona.. Un abbraccio è esprimere la propria esistenza a chi ci sta accanto, qualsiasi cosa accada, nella gioia che nel dolore. Esistono molti tipi di abbracci, ma i più veri ed i più profondi sono quelli che trasmettono i nostri sentimenti.
