CURTAINS CALLIN'

CURTAINS  CALLIN'

to be describe as a painter 

is by the action and product

painting - action, painting - the product

how are you an artist if you were to be primarily base on painting and drawing

you are probably just a painter and a drawer

that's a justification by what you do

you paint and draw

in my opinion and knowledge of an artist -
 is one who needs not appease the crowd 
but to transform with the materials of the world  and methods of which he possesses

embracing any medium upon convenience, comfortably and make connections upon contact

highly sensitive, an acquired taste of visual aesthetics - the aesthetic eye

artist is known to create beautiful pieces

but since the visible in continual flux, 

beauty has it's own judgement

beauty itself becomes subject to rationality,

 commodity exchange and calculation.

 hence, beauty gets tied up with design, style, marketing.

the critique of beauty is never a critique of beautiful objects 

but always of ideas, ideologies, social practices and cultural hierarchies.

whatever beauty is, just be yourself

knowing it's there, feeling right from the heart 

right in your existence of time and space

that is enough, be open

 from the dictionary, Artist -

a person who produces works in any of the arts that are primarily subject to aesthetic criteria.

to be described by others as an artist is at it's best

a made contribution that rejoices with the crowd of it's existence

however, self proclamation as an artist, it's at best to keep it within oneself
--

any one can be an artist

artist/inventor

a significant life-long and creative contributor 

the foresight of evolution

the world is in need for justification for what you saw and created

we make art to express, to release, to share, to question, debate and so on

but whatever you are, you are untouched by any words

you are, just

what we do daily were based on 

primary interest of a character

inside you

to not feel empty with life, 

ever since the body was given to you

and

hence the title/ word to describe who you are as an existing identity

by what you do for a living (to enable your existence), 

habitual way of living due to restrains.. so on and so forth,

 who you are usually accustomed to, 

societal statuses, educational background.... 

so, we deceive ourselves by playing along with our interest

by 
'BEING WHO WE ARE', 
which is the biggest lie i've ever heard 
(as to all that will be mentioned below
none can ever describe your essence and pure-being)
by-

doing what we like, doing what we want

buying what we like, buying we we want

to talk to whom we 'like' and hanging out with whom we want

having companions being able to resonate, 
counting on reliance and attachments

whenever we are convenient, mentally comfortable and at ease...

to feed the interest and this boredom of existence

in other word escape, you are escaping
you are escaping your existence, reality into imaginations
perhaps, agree to it that you are escaping, so-called wanderlust, 
soul searching, living for the dream, living for love, living for money 
and big houses that we had never live for our very self

in summary ; we are in continuous escape, in search for truth and answer 
to live for the other world, out of your very body and soul
heightened experience of the higher world

-------

in this continuous self - denial landscape our mind had settled

for which if only accepting what you really are

that all are neither false nor true and nothing by your actions, physical outlook can ever describe who you are inside

the pleasure of attaining and clinging on to something to deal with reality
to feed reality, to feed your self-denial and all you ever need

only can you accept this 'existence'

 release 

(by means of talking, speaking of emotions, doing what you like.. so on)

 as every moment, for you liberate 

 nothing matters afterwards

for every moment is now

we carry futile emotions and memories 

 that will never have the strength 

to pull you back from where you once started

SPEAK YOUR HEART. IF THEY DON’T UNDERSTAND, THE MESSAGE WAS NEVER MEANT FOR THEM ANYWAY.

- Yasmin Mogahed

as this world is a world of paradox
people are 10 times multiplied of paradoxes within paradoxes

you'd better  get going , you'd better move,,

or else,  blend into the curtains
