SOLD the bay Painting

To whom this thought is unfamiliar, to abandon the traveled path in favor of walking a road unmarked and unknown? Works of art, the products of human imagination in general, create maps that humanity has always used to try and grasp that which always seems to be one step ahead. A mathematician, having a wealth of knowledge in a narrow discipline, working for long enough time, sooner or later, will encounter a singularity. /A singularity is defined as a / This compels them to search. Often a new way is found in the process. Singularities are but doorways to entire new realities. Regardless of the media one uses or one’s sphere of interests and references, the imagination is always the framework for art to actualize, everything else is accidental. It resonates with every other aspect of one’s life. Knowledge without imagination is merely information. Without imagination one can attain knowledge but not understanding. A painting gives an access to an illusory friction, a possible gateway in the fabric of reality that can be “gazed” or even, perhaps, “walked through”. Throughcontact with paintings (in the broadest possible sense of the word) perception itself can be changed, it can reevaluate seeing. On the way to art, one crosses many paths: thoughts, sensations, feelings, sensory stimuli. The visual component resonates strongly with memory. At times, observing a painting can help one reconnect; go back to one’s roots and affirm their identity. Art can also be means of communication with the rest of the world. It allows one to “speak” about things difficult to name, or things lacking name entirely. It helps to order reality, notice patterns of raw images, beyond words. The lifespan of a single human being is dreadfully short. However art seems to be a part of something much vaster. It has a dimension of its own; it works on its own time, less linear and parallel. I believe in a way, a way that goes beyond man and that the most fascinating phenomena, happens in that place where the two meet.
