Living and Leaving

klar til rejsen

leaving again…always leaving.

life is funny in this way: we need desperately to belong somewhere and yet, we are only here for a brief moment.

thank you Sofia, Hanne, Carsten, Frodo, Mathias…you made my trip worth it´s risk.

Farewell Denmark. Farvel og tak. O bom filho a casa torna…

one more [one less] day

something will happen

i wish some dreams could just be true

i´m missing a certain feeling of plenitude and joy

longing for a place where fear and loneliness do not insist on existing

and the confort of warm, long and quiet hugs are easy and abundant

sometimes i wish i could dream endlessly (and not wake up into reality).

when life doesn´t bring what you want… go there and do it yourself!

what dreams are made of

seng

walking the streets of beautiful Copenhagen and feeling all kinds of emotions…

hearts have been broken and dreams were vanished here, once, long time ago

now, life presents new possibilities and i’m trying to dry out all those frozen tears.

The bad and the impossible was left behind, far away in the story – and now it must simply not matter any more.

Slowly, new tastes and colors will start populating the once left empty soul.

Wonderful Copenhagen remais wonderful… my heart and eyes have changed and now i’m looking at its real colors.

Today dawn was painted in shades of pink and orange…magnificent combination! Tusind tak Danmark…

sunday morning wonderings

velhice

On this day, seven years ago, I lost my brother in a motorcycle accident. I miss him [a lot]. I wonder how his life would be now, what he would be doing, how proud he would be to know i´m following my heart and my dreams, choosing the not so easy path of painting for a living.

This painting has something to do with moments that will not be lived. It´s called Velhice (aging, aeldredom) and it was a guess about how my life would be if my marriage continued. Different perspectives and tastes would lead us to different doors? A life together, but separately? Unecessary noise, self imposed silence? Getting fat and old, collecting patches of colors that I would never live myself. The easy path, but not so easy after all. Life is a matter of choice. Fortunately I can see that now and choose self love, self steem, self awareness… happyness.

I can choose what I want.

I know what I miss.

And life goes on. Painting and wondering on a lazy, cold and lonely sunday morning.

what are we all waiting for?

I just realized that this 3 paintings were a sequence after all…

Not only the confusing and colorful background, nor the ladies, nor the wooden floors.

They are all waiting or expecting something.

They are all envolved at a simple situation, but in deep thoughts.

When I paint I do not plan the image. It grows just before my eyes and hands, just like that.

And they tell me a story, later, that revails a lot about life [myself?]

That´s why it´s so much fun… it´s the inside out that makes sense.
