Nas ondas do teu cabelo
navega a barca do amor
nela eis-me timoneiro
ao leme do fado e da dor

Por mares longínquos singrando,
de aventura em aventura,
teu mistério perseguia,
alma minha, estrela alada,
sacra chama da alegria

DIVINO ENCANTO

Direi o amanhecer do trigo
num sorriso de oiro
serei bosque nas montanhas
e incendio nos teus labios

Direi a luz das palavras
a cintilar nos teus olhos
serei cantiga de amor
no teu corac,ao
de estrela

e o vento azul da aventura
que sopra no meu destino
sonhos sagrados de infancia

pinta no ceu a ventura
e todo o encanto divino
que ha em minh'alma ansia

FIRST LOVE
firstlove Originally uploaded by joakimpaz.

Quis o destino eleger-te
musa minha mais amada
desde quando fascinado
o teu olhar me guiou
sobre abismos e desertos
sete mares de solidao
para agora e sempre
que saudoso te relembre
sentir renascer vibrantes
la do fundo do meu peito
os misterios da amizade
na magia dum sorriso

Quis a fonte dos anseios
que a lua estivesse alta
e viva sobre o jardim
que as estrelas fulgindo
pintassem na voz do poema
cintilac,oes abstractas
modulac,oes da ternura
enquanto o rio sublinha
neste canto o nosso encontro
e nas palavras o encanto
se difunde sobre a noite
quais sementes do carinho
fogo alquimico do amor
oiro do meu coracao

June-------2005

In this personal project I’ve applied the results from the research about the Golden Section, to determine sizes and compositions… and gave special attention to the surfaces, to balance its textures in terms of rough/smooth, shine/mate areas as also in terms of light/dark tones in colour.

In conceptual terms, I feel tempted to describe/ define my work as a sequence/ development of the naturalism, something like the missing branch between that movement and landArt movement, or like a place in crossing roads: the abstractionism (that breakes with the concept of figurative art) and landart (that breakes with the concept of wall-hanging painting or museum-art).

Using natural elements, and side by side its representation by painting/printing, to express my concern about representation and Reality… and choosing simple leaves to better illustrate my point, that is to understand what happens to that leave as to my painting… my work could have a short life, but every Spring everything in nature is renewed…and that is the symbolism of the spiral, which science actually confirms , just by observing the shapes of snails and shells, the growth pattern of a tree, our AND structure to the shape of galaxies.

It seems to me that happens similarly on Art and to understand what could remains or become new I think the right question is: WHY we represent things or why we still doing art, since the cavemen carving symbols in stones to the most modern image computer programs ? and I believe that is the same old motivation…

It seems to me as Henry Miller wrote before: “to paint is to love again”…so, we represent things because we love them, because they seem to us so special, so important, so beautiful or so precious and at the same time, so ephemeral, perishable and mortal, that we wish to preserve/represent them for ever…and doing that we really do sacralize them, they become so sacred for us in the same sense that all nature was sacred in the ancient Celtic culture…just with a difference now : our own personal perspective /point of view, derived from our new, unrepeatable, UNIQUE experience of life.

I celebrate on painting my love for nature …and choosing simple things as leaves, pebbles or feathers, exactly to express that point, that the most simple thing in nature is so beautiful and complex, so loveable and sacred as anything else .
In certain way I could say Art is my concept of religion, in which SACRED is what we love, and Art like the ceremony/the ritual where we sacralize and share the things we love.

There was a time when Art it seems to be commanded by the political and religious hierarchies but times changed… so we could now create and celebrate our own religion, making sacred what we love, which could be not exactly the same we’ve been told all over the centuries and became actually meaningless…

Being my work about the relationship between Art and Life, with that open frame I intend to express the idea that should have no frontiers between , they must interact one over another most as possible… so, the frame doesn’t separate , doesn’t isolate them, but leaves like an open door so we could bring Nature to Art and Art to our quotidian life …

Because Art it’s not a simple question of making beautiful things but rather to reveal/produce beautiful beings; then, the poems, the books, paintings, dresses, buildings, will happen as natural consequences/reflections of what we live and love…so, much more important and interesting than to paint beautiful pictures or to write wonderful poems, better than read a book is to live it first and write it later, better to watch a great movie should be facing our quotidian life in a creative way and planing it as an wonderful movie or a complex, magnificent piece of art, in wich we celebrate and share our love for Life, Nature, Freedom, Beauty, Harmony…
