'It indicates that there exists a greater world, and that its perimeter defines the limit of all created things; that at the far extremity of this great world there exists a privileged creation which reproduces, within its restricted dimensions, the immense order of the heavens, the stars, the mountains, rivers, and storms; and that it is between the effective limits of this constituent analogy that the interplay of resemblances takes place.'

[focused looking from a distance, a series of aesthetic particularities, each evoking a specific personality of movement, an aesthetic phenomenology each in themselves and together as a sequencialized exploration of a totality of space within the canvas <> looking into the mirror gazing …… until disjointed aesthetic elements separate from the dark background, each of themselves for what they are as such, drawn together into a sur-face whole > the gaze of the mind's perception] || [unfocused looking with the two eyes, one open another closed, in the two large paintings above <> a mirror becomes a mouth that reflects oneself in a position with respect to the superficiality of the canvas, in loving awe of the whole totality] :: the science of painting, reflecting the imaginative capacities of human being as a sublimity of self-expression and a faithfulness of touch
