Pedro Salinas / Bill Bate | If you would call me / Se tu mi chiamassi / Si me llamaras..

Se mi chiamassi, sì,

se mi chiamassi.

Io lascerei tutto,

tutto io getterei:

i prezzi, i cataloghi,

l'azzurro dell'oceano sulle carte,

i giorni e le loro notti,

i telegrammi vecchi

ed un amore.

Tu, che non sei il mio amore,

se mi chiamassi!

If you would call me, oh yes,

if you would only call me!

I would leave everything,

I would throw everything over;

prices, catalogs,

the blue of the ocean on maps,

The days and their nights,

old telegrams

and a love,

You, who are not my love,

if you would only call me!

Bill Bate🎨

Michelangelo Buonarroti | S'egli è che 'n dura pietra alcun somigli | Sonetto 242

S’egli è che ’n dura pietra alcun somigli

talor l’immagin d’ogni altri a se stesso,

squalido e smorto spesso

il fo, com’i’ son fatto da costei.

E par ch’esempro pigli

ognor da me, ch’i’ penso di far lei.

Jeanette Guichard Bunel, 1957 | Pop Surrealist painter

" - Tough my painting I wish to transpose the visitor to the world of dreams.

I would like to have sensitivity predominate over reasoning by inciting the viewer to see further than appearances…

I would like to establish extra-verbal and extra-sensorial communication between us by removing the barriers of rationalism".

French painter🎨 Jeannette Guichard-Bunel wants to take her spectators on a dream like journey through her paintings. She wants to give supremacy to reasoning so that the spectator can analyze and go beyond appearances.

She likes to establish an extra-verbal and extra sensorial communication with her public and erase the barriers of rationalism. Her characters try to catch the spectator's eye and attract him to a world where time stands still and has boundless space.

Sinisha Kashawelski, 1969 | Pittore Surrealista

I dipinti di Kashawelski hanno uno stile prevalentemente surrealista, sebbene debba molto della sua ispirazione alla tradizione pittorica macedone.

Il realismo incontra il surrealismo: Kashawelski combina le tendenze realiste, più viste nel lavoro degli Antichi Maestri con elementi surrealisti del passato, del futuro e del presente dell'artista.

Le opere di Kashawelski sono eseguite ad olio e principalmente su tela, ma occasionalmente lavora su pannelli di legno.
