"Ya que no podemos extraer belleza de la vida, busquemos al menos extraer belleza de no poder extraer belleza de la vida. Hagamos de nuestro fracaso una victoria, algo positivo y erguido, con columnas, majestad y aquiescencia espiritual.⠀ Si la vida no nos ha dado más que una celda de reclusión, hagamos por ornamentarla, aunque más no sea, con las sombras de nuestros sueños, diseños y colores, esculpiendo nuestro olvido bajo la quieta exterioridad de los muros.⠀ Como todo soñador , siempre he sentido que mi oficio era crear. Como nunca he sabido hacer un esfuerzo o activar una intención, crear me ha coincidido siempre con soñar, querer o desear; y hacer gestos , con soñar los gestos que desearía poder hacer."⠀ ⠀ "Since we can not extract beauty from life, let us at least extract beauty from not being able to extract beauty from life." Let's make our failure a victory, something positive and upright, with columns, majesty and spiritual acquiescence.⠀ If life has given us nothing more than a prison cell, let us do it to ornament it, even if it is not so, with the shadows of our dreams, designs and colors, sculpting our oblivion under the quiet exterior of the walls.⠀ Like every dreamer, I have always felt that my job was to create. As I have never known how to make an effort or activate an intention, creating has always coincided with dreaming, wanting or wanting; and make gestures, with dreaming the gestures that I wish I could do."⠀ ⠀ Fernando Pessoa⠀ Estética del desaliento / Aesthetics of discouragement⠀ El libro del desasosiego de Bernardo Soares / The book of the restlessness of Bernardo Soares⠀ & @thehorux (artist)⠀ ⠀ #portrait #portraitart #portraiture #contemporary #contemporaryart #contemporaryartist #newcontemporary #digital_art #digitalart #digitalartist #digitalacollage #collageart #collageartist #collageartwork #collagework #collagecollectiveco #c_expo #collagemaker #collage_guild #contemporarycollage #collagelife #photocollage #undergroundart #popsurrealism #beautifulbizarre #lowbrowart #artcollector #marcopolorules #vagabondwho https://www.instagram.com/p/BuRKJ88Bvs2/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=anlibur7vah5

“El amor nunca muere por causas naturales.⠀⠀ Muere porque no sabemos rellenar su fuente.⠀⠀ Muere de ceguera emocional, de nuestros errores y traiciones.⠀⠀ Muere a causa de nuestras enfermedades y heridas del corazón,⠀⠀ De cansancio, por falta de riego.⠀⠀ Cuando se vuelve opaco y deja de brillar,⠀⠀ Entonces el amor muere.”⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ "Love never dies from natural causes.⠀⠀ He dies because we do not know how to fill his source.⠀⠀ Dies of emotional blindness, from our mistakes and betrayals.⠀⠀ Dies because of our diseases and heart wounds,⠀⠀ Weary, for lack of irrigation.⠀⠀ When it becomes opaque and stops glowing,⠀⠀ Then love dies.

"Tener algún enemigo es hasta conveniente. Yo lo tengo. Me he acogido a él (como en aquellas igualas con los médicos, cuando no existía la Seguridad Social y había esos extraños pactos simbólicos con ellos). Tu enemigo te da la medida de quién eres, de cómo eres en realidad. Cuando a la larga –y siempre es así– aparezcan por fin corregidos los contornos falsos o deformados que de ti haga, llevado por la saña o por la envidia, entonces se alzará otra estatura tuya. No es la que él proclama sobre ti; pero tampoco es la que tú suponías. Él quedará desmentido; tú, un poco confuso. Siempre es así."⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ "Having some enemy is up to convenient. I have it. I have embraced him (as in those equals with doctors, when there was no Social Security and there were those strange symbolic pacts with them). Your enemy gives you the measure of who you are, how you really are. When in the long run - and it is always so - the false or deformed contours that you make, corrected by viciousness or envy, will finally be corrected, then another stature of yours will be raised. It is not what he proclaims about you; but it is not the one that you supposed. He will be denied; you, a little confused. It is always so."⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ Tomás Sánchez Santiago⠀⠀ La vida mitigada / The mitigated life⠀ & Matthieu Bourel (artist)⠀ ⠀ #surrealportrait #portraitart #contemporary #contemporaryart #contemporaryartist #newcontemporary #digital_art #digitalart #digitalartist #digitalacollage #collageart #collageartist #collageartwork #collagework #collagecollectiveco #c_expo #collagemaker #collage_guild #contemporarycollage #collagelife #photocollage #undergroundart #surreal #surrealart #surrealism #popsurrealism #retroart #surrealcollage #marcopolorules #vagabondwho https://www.instagram.com/p/BuZS04ahajq/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=a7t1gv09wyej

"Es verdad que el mar favorece mi ensoñación, porque asegura la distancia, y significa, para los sentidos, la plenitud vacante; pero ocurre de una forma no específica, y veo que los grandes desiertos, o la trama, desierta también, de las rutas de un continente, pueden ocupar la misma función, que es la de permitirnos errar, aplazando por mucho tiempo la mirada que a todo abraza, y renuncia.
