¨So, I dropped my bags in the boot and we started driving, eyes and ears wide opened (yes I do have ears! They are just very well hidden) ready to connect, see and absorb new tones and sounds like sponges.
Today, I have reached South America. It is hot, almost suffocating. And I find a few doors opened, probably trying to catch a bit of fresh air. They invite me in and show me the colours of the canvases of their lives. No need to bring my paint and brushes here… they have already made their own tools and they are ready to share! And there I realised… I hadfound some of the Sparks of South America !
Amazed and intrigued, I will try to dig out the roots of that twist they have in their eyes. I will bombard each of them with my « Ws » …
Why do you do art ? Desire or need ?
What is the philosophy behind it?
What message does it whisper, sing or scream ?
What do you want to bring to this society? Any desire to melt some Ice?
Whom is your art for? You, other Sparks or Spices or Ices?
Who is it from? I mean, the original idea of each canvas, is it yours or a response to a special request ?
Without forgetting to tickle the essential !
What gave birth to that sparkle that blinks in your eye? Is frustration part of it?
I also wonder what would be smiling to or with me if I was looking Through their eyes …
Beauty ! I´ll say. What is it? And, is it essential that it appears in your art?
Just before escaping and still keeping my identity secret, I´ll slip in the last but the least question…
What is a Wink for you ?
We shall see who they think I am. Maybe I already figure on their canvases … ¨
