The Red Book - Carl Jung

I found out that the Red Book from Carl Jung is filled with imagery of his own personal journey.  Somehow, I tend to idealize geniuses as if they were supra-humans and therefore not vulnerable to our mundane questions. It is a gift to know that such an amazing mind has its roots in curiosity, a fundamental element of self discovery. Curiosity entails fear of the known, fear of the unknown and, at the same time, a strong desire for an answer.

If you would like, check some of Jung's images here:

Afternoon nap

After lunch today, my husband suggested a nap together. I didn't think I would be able to nap as I hadn't done that in such a long time. Well... we locked the doors, ran upstairs, cuddled under the covers and five minutes later I was  asleep. It was wonderful! The simple little things that make life and relarionships so great.

Take a nap.

Michael Kimmelman on Art, Insightful

I woke up this  morning thinking about the need to create a routine for myself. So I wrote out my schedule for today. On it, I had to read an article written by Michael Kimmelman on Chris Ofili. I did. Then I got curious about Michael himself, and that got me off track again.

I watched two youtube movies that made me rethink my concepts on my work, and others. 

Hey, I am off my schedule, but I am happy, and that is all that counts.

Here there are the movies in case you want to check them out. 

Love,

Lili

Day and Night

This was my first work in August. I guess I was feeling a little blue when I started. At the end I was all colors.  This is what art does to me. It makes me alive and happy. The more I get involved with it the more I expand myself.
