About Painting.

i read today on a website that you have to respect originality and educated yourself to be able to see it.
Many things influence me and many more have influenced me in the past and will in the future.
I have always point it out those names and cultures that i have felt and see become a part of my work and i have always tried to made them my own.

so far i think my attemps in creating my own language have been obvious.
maybe not succesfull but im working on that.
what i read today made me remember what i read years ago in one of my favorite books in a brilliant text about painting.


" what it does denote is the degree to wich the very essence of art has been realized: the undoing of the world of things, the construction of the world of values, and hence the constitution of a new world. the originality of this constitution provides us with a general criterion by wich we can measure intensity of figuration.

Originality of constitution is not the urge to be different from others, to produce something entirely new, it is (in the etymological sense) the grasping of the origin, the roots of both ourselves and things "

Max Raphael. ( from Revolutionary Undoing, John Berger. )
