Paintings: oil on canvas Symona Colina

WITHIN THE BLUE The sea, she is leaving shells on the shore. I pick them up, One by one, Fill them with al kinds of thoughts and dreams. The sea, she is picking them up, Taking back all the shells she left on the shore, All at once.

The sea, she is leaving shells on the shore.

I pick them up,

One by one,

Fill them with al kinds of thoughts and dreams.

The sea, she is picking them up,

Taking back all the shells she left on the shore,

All at once.

WITHIN THE BLUE Height, width, ‘depth’ A painting, A space … A cube has six fields, Regular squares. To make it more clear that the one in the distance Comes very near in being the one at the front, I gave them the same size. The canvas is a regular square, I suppose that leaves five fields. One on the left, one on the right, One in the distance. Four edges. Height, width, ‘depth’ A painting, A space.

Height, width, ‘depth’

A painting,

A space …

A cube has six fields,

Regular squares.

To make it more clear that the one in the distance

Comes very near in being the one at the front,

I gave them the same size.

The canvas is a regular square,

I suppose that leaves five fields.

One on the left, one on the right,

One in the distance.

Four edges.

Height, width, ‘depth’

A painting,

A space.

WITHIN THE BLUE Dodecahedron I used a dodecahedron, as a start of. To create a painting, a space. Where possible or not possible are coming together on the surface of the canvas. Balancing on the edges. Leaving maybe a sense of wonder behind.

Dodecahedron

I used a dodecahedron,

as a start of.

To create a painting,

a space.

Where possible or not possible are coming

together on the surface of the canvas.

Balancing on the edges.

Leaving maybe a sense of wonder behind.

WITHIN THE BLUE Fiera, mongolfiera: Fair …, A place where people come together, An event where people float together. On land and in the sea and sky, In summertime, in wintertime, Once upon a time, having a good time. All kinds of colors are in the water, Are in the land and in the sea. All kinds of people look like a rainbow to me.

Fiera, mongolfiera:

Fair …,

A place where people come together,

An event where people float together.

On land and in the sea and sky,

In summertime, in wintertime,

Once upon a time, having a good time.

All kinds of colors are in the water,

Are in the land and in the sea.

All kinds of people look like a rainbow to me.

WITHIN THE BLUE Ins blaüe hinein, Mann kann davon reden … Ins blaüe hinein. Within the blue. One can speak about it … Within the blue.

Ins blaüe hinein,

Mann kann davon reden …

Ins blaüe hinein.

Within the blue.

One can speak about it …

Within the blue.

WITHIN THE BLUE A cube has height, length and depth. A room has height, length and depth. A painting has height, length … Depth … I am trying to make it visible on the surface of the canvas. There is left and there’s right. There is above and under. There is forward and backward. In and out. There is a surface to hold this all.

A cube has height, length and depth.

A room has height, length and depth.

A painting has height, length …

Depth …

I am trying to make it visible on the surface of the canvas.

There is left and there’s right.

There is above and under.

There is forward and backward.

In and out.

There is a surface to hold this all.

I am keeping my balance, I am using the tools I have. To visualize the depth, to create … A space, using geometrical Mathematical structures, Parallels, Crossing in infinity. The paint is slow, I am taking the time it needs, Time is slowly passing by … Balancing on a surface. In silence. In time. In no time.

I am keeping my balance,

I am using the tools I have.

To visualize the depth, to create …

A space, using geometrical

Mathematical structures,

Parallels,

Crossing in infinity.

The paint is slow,

I am taking the time it needs,

Time is slowly passing by …

Balancing on a surface.

In silence.

In time.

In no time.

WITHIN THE BLUE Then there is the wind, Whispering, caressing, seducing, Soft breezes, mighty storms… Feeling it in my mussels and bones. I see the wind in the sea, In the clouds covering the sky, I feel the wind, crushing, caressing, capturing … One with the wind and sea. A world moving on and on. From one end to an other. Into and from a deep blue sky, Into and from a deep blue sea. The wind is whispering stories, The wind with all its strength. The wind is telling me dreams, And I believe them all.

Then there is the wind,

Whispering, caressing, seducing,

Soft breezes, mighty storms…

Feeling it in my mussels and bones.

I see the wind in the sea,

In the clouds covering the sky,

I feel the wind, crushing, caressing, capturing …

One with the wind and sea.

A world moving on and on.

From one end to an other.

Into and from a deep blue sky,

Into and from a deep blue sea.

The wind is whispering stories,

The wind with all its strength.

The wind is telling me dreams,

And I believe them all.

WITHIN THE BLUE Schroef, propeller, Back and forward in a ‘flat’ object. A painting of a propeller lying in half a bowl, dug out in a wall. Trying to move back and forward. Giving the impression of movement in a ‘flat’ space to highlight, to confirm the sense of space. resting on their square supports, to unite in the center, where they divide, where they, in the distance, embrace half a bowl.

Schroef, propeller,

Back and forward in a ‘flat’ object.

A painting of a propeller lying in half a bowl,

dug out in a wall.

Trying to move back and forward.

Giving the impression of movement in a ‘flat’ space

to highlight, to confirm the sense of space.

resting on their square supports,

to unite in the center, where they divide,

where they, in the distance,

embrace half a bowl.

Beyond that I cannot see. Parallels visually crossing in infinity. The distance is reduced to nearby, where the propeller is balancing on its square supports. The size of the bowl is not defined but limited to the size of the painting. Prospective is used and maybe reduced, to see a propeller lying in half a bowl. While focusing on the center or on the edges, where are resting the square supports, the movement becomes automatically clear. The straight lines of the parallels bend over, wrestling to come forward. To set themselves free.
