Emptiness

---

"Emptiness" it's a small painting that I just finished during my holidays in Corsica
I needed emptiness. It's very common. The challenge is to be able to do it all the time when necessary because our very useful mind tends to take all the place even when its presence is not useful or required.
This void can be scary at least for me it is. Because I have the intuition that in this so beneficial emptiness there is my ultimate essence .... or first. There is no social status, there is no "I", there are no opinions, there are no roles ... not even the artist's role . One can misunderstand and believe that it is the big NOTHING when in fact it is the big EVERYTHING.
But it's true that it can give you vertigo, you have to tame it.
I am lucky to have art in my life as a tool. There are others. I suggest you and I wish you to find yours. Meditation can be a tool, and just in this there are a lot of choices.
