At any moment this fragile harmony can be destroyed, changed into chaos, coming out from the frame of a painting , but the moment which holds it, brings the force and energy to face the reality, an emotional and intellectual tension which bear a therapeutic and critical function of the reality, becomes a true action for the artist.
