SYMPHONY OF OPPOSITES
The other image of the sure-realism

Knowledge – POLARITY AND DUALITY
An important function of meditation is to awaken human consciousness to the many “pairs of opposites” that coexist in us and in the universe, the problems they entail and the techniques used to balance them.. The “pairs of opposites” are the great dualities among which we “live” and we ‘ sway ‘ when we move from one to the other; e.g. mind-matter, joy,sadness, love-hatred.
First, it is necessary to know how to recognize polarity, admit duality, balance opposites and learn to stand firmly in the centre. It is a fundamental aspect of integration – psychological and spiritual
God created the universe essentially based on polarity. Duality arises from the first moment that cosmic manifestation begins to develop, The first fundamental duality is that of the manifested and unmanifested. In the process of manifestation, the fundamental polarity is that of the mind and matter. Any polarity is a relationship between two elements, and as such, is never absolute but relative to a particular pair of opposites. Thus, the same element can be positive in its relation to a “pole” and negative in its relation to another.
In the physical world, the most commonly recognized polarity is that of the positive and negative poles in electricity. This polarity is the basis of the constitution of matter.
In the three kingdoms of organic life (vegetable, animal and human), one of the largest polarities is the sexual polarity. The positive pole is represented by the masculine element, the negative by the feminine element. However, this does not mean that only the former is active and only the latter is passive. Both are active, but each in its own way, the masculine element being dynamic and positive while the feminine one receptive and “gestational”.
However, the great polarity image that God created, whether human, physical or metaphase remains an eternal source of creation.
To be creative, you have to know how to conserve diversity, to harmonize opposites and to direct polarity. It is a question of know- how, the ability to orchestrate the symphony of opposites.
ORCHESTRATION – SYMPHONY OF OPPOSITES
Nature seems to use a special formula orchestration: it is to mix, to produce “SINFONIAS”. Creation seems to lie in the general laws of contrasts.
We, human beings, experience conflicting emotions, opposing situations and contradictory ideologies .Our wisdom should lead us to perceive the difference as complementary shades so that we will be able to produce and orchestrate new SYMPHONIES. Whether a political leader , or an artist , or an economist ,or a conductor, or else a chef ,nobody can ignore the value of all the tools of labour, no one should forget that all the material ingredients should be modelled, well interpreted and directed to become better productive.
However, was it necessary to assure the basic qualities of a true conductor! A creative chef! Whether he is a political leader, or an entrepreneur, or a chef, or a religious leader or else an artistic leader. One should never neglect the usefulness of the various ingredients of the recipe, never try to remove the colours of difference, never practice the policy of indifference, never deny or despise the existence of distinct forms, for nothing in the world is more productive than a sincere recognition of difference, and nothing is more odious than zero ingratitude of dissimilarity. To be creative, you have to know how to maintain polarity, orchestrate diversity and harmonize opposites. It is not a question of merging of the two poles involving the neutralization of their energy loads; it is by striking a balance between opposites that we will achieve a just harmony.
In any field, with little “sure –realism” a Maestro should exist ; one that starts with recognizing any differences, one that harmonizes an action work to direct interpretation, one that ensures to react and engage in the art of conducting, one that ensures that talent could create a new symphony of opposites.
DIRECTION – THE INTERPRETATION OF “SURE-REALISM”
Art converges the convention rules not to the natural as such but to the natural as it is perceived. The artistic talent is mainly driven by a rational knowledge, not merely a sensitive one, a knowledge that reveals the spectacular signs, controvert and release the uncertainties in great dimensions.
Gathering incoherent and remote forms, and rearranging the variety of forms that never meet, will allow us to express simultaneously the notion of opposition, to move closer to the idea of the sacred and the profane. It is a question of creating a new attitude towards life, reaching a new outcome, expanding our field of vision to travel through time and space thanks to another dimension, the “Umpteenth Dimension”, so that we will be able to connect opposite images. It is another image of the new “sure realism”.
Now it remains for me to go on stage , I ‘m going to my studio equipped with my fitted tools to paint a symphony of opposites .
I dedicate this SINFONIA to those who do not like to recognize the cloistered song of their soul, to those who want to hear it again and again, or to those who want to be well equipped with the tools of their lives to regain their full dimension in the divine symphony of human souls, I suggest being the benevolent and friendly intermediary, the interpreter of the new score written so that they will remember this new SYMPHONY OPPOSITES, which might make their hearts vibrate!. I offer them with great love, the following series of seven .
THE SEVEN SYNPHONIES:
1-SINFONIA DELL ‘ARTISTA (Symphony of a masterpiece)
2-SINFONIA DEL MAESTRO (symphony conductor).
3-SIN of FONIA DEL POLITICO (symphony political leader).
4-SINFONIA BUSINESSMEN LED (symphony of the entrepreneur).
5- SINFONIA DI CAPOCUOCO (symphony of the kitchen boss).
6- SINFONIA DI SPIRITUALITA (symphonie of the spiritual leader).
7-SINFONIA DELL ‘AMORE (symphony of the goddess Aphrodite).
EXPRESSION- SINFONIA DELL ‘ARTISTA
I would be happy to share with you the first of seven SYMPHONIES. It is an oil painting on canvas (90x90cm), entitled “Artist’s Symphonie”.This is to express the interpretation of a plastic polarity (colours, strokes, forms, plans and volumes, light, space …) based on a theatrical staging, and inspired, through a gesture ,by the conductor movement. The conductor is an artist who lives his emotions by painting his models, the artist is a conductor who leads its forms and colors by bringing together opposites.
The plastic parts chosen by opposition retain their identities (e.g. natural and geometric forms, the simple and the compound, bi-dimensional and three dimensional planes, light and dark, colour contrast, pure and blended tones, technique of fragmented and flat stroke, finished and unfinished …).
THE SYMPHONY OF OPPOSITE is a marriage signed by the two poles in harmony with the “SEPARATION of PROPERTY” contract. Each pole retains its own identity, its existence, its autonomy.
THE SYMPHONY OF OPPOSITES is a creative marriage giving birth to a new outcome. It is a productive union through which each pole interacts with his rival to give birth to a new BABY. THIS NEW BABY IS A PRODUCT OF “Sure-REALISM”.
I would like to share with you this work ,in memory of
