The theory of bCd
A trip to India was the reason for me to portray, in just three letters and in a concise and simple manner, the description of the course we follow through-out our lives.
Anup, a warm-hearted person who I met there, demonstrated an allegorical approach to the alphabet. "Translate" the first letters:
We accept the letter "A" as the beginning of everything and we move on to the next three ones. He explained to me that the letter "C" is not accidentally positioned between "B" and "D".
"B" symbolizes "Birth", "D" symbolizes "Death" and the letter "C", among them, represents "Choice". Anup's allegory shows that, from the beginning to the end of our lives, the choice is ours.
We choose the path for the journey of our lives. Every line starts from a point. We choose how far our "line" will reach.
My "C", my choice, is to paint and to create. I choose, through art, to achieve inner balance. I choose so as my way of life to give importance to aesthetics, to people, to the environment, to animals and to the whole of nature. The letter "C" is unique for each one and it is our decision how we will manage it.
What is your "C"?
