india Painting

In nature everything is a symbol: the Sun, the constellations, the light, the night, the seasons speak to us with solemn language. In winter, when the days get shorter melancholy, the man of the Middle Ages thinks of the long twilight centuries that preceded the coming of Christ, and perceives that light and darkness have both a part in the comedy of life. Air is what envelops and permeates everything, it is the intangible space that unites everything, it is the vital energy that the Taoists call chi, the Hindus call prana and we call it ether. It is the invisible substance that pervades the entire universe and that we absorb from the environment through breathing. Its seat is the world thin between Heaven and Earth. The world of expansion filled with the breath necessary for life.
