On Formalism and Alice in Wonderland

I'm a mere formalist, I don't really much care about concepts or ideas because I don't feel comfortable living inside of abstractions. I like that which can be seen and felt at the same time without having to use the brain as a tool for interpretation. Please forgive me if I say that this society has lost its way. I like red and I like black. I like yellow and Alice in Wonderland.

I haven't been painting lately because my brain is full of shit. I need to unplug myself from my daily activities in order to be true to what I want to do. I would be cheating on myself if I were to start a new painting in this state of mind.

Soy un mero formalista. Realmente no me importan los conceptos o ideas porque no me siento cómodo viviendo dentro de abstracciones. Me gusta todo aquello que puede ser visto y sentido al mismo tiempo sin tener que usar el cerebro como herramienta de interpretación. Discúlpenme si digo que esta sociedad ha perdido su rumbo. Me gustan el rojo y el negro. Me gustan el amarillo y Alicia en el País de las Maravillas.

No estoy pintando porque tengo la cabeza contaminada con mucha mierda que me está costando desestimar. Necesito purgarme.

Espero que el descanso te traiga frescura y que tu cabeza no esté afectado por la mierda.

Turn off your mind, relax and float down stream
It is not dying, it is not dying


Lay down all thoughts, surrender to the void
It is shining, it is shining


Yet you may see the meaning of within
It is being, it is being


Love is all and love is everyone
It is knowing, it is knowing


And ignorance and hate mourn the dead
It is believing, it is believing


But listen to the colour of your dreams
It is not leaving, it is not leaving


So play the game "Existence" to the end
Of the beginning, of the beginning
