"Digging for white gold" (80 x 100 cm) , by Erik Pevernagie, oil on canvas. x
Let us loosen our grip sometimes, open up and break free from the corroded mechanism of our life, and let us thereby indulge in living by the seat-of-the-pants, allowing unclouded and eye-opening rides. Happiness may be a hardwired obsession in our brains. First and foremost, we should learn to foster an upright quest for unvarnished well-being and, above all, not give in to vain temptations of displaying counterfeit contentment and fake smiling. Nature is a raw material and teaches us to be unfeigned and straightforward. It does not allow dubiousness. Nature lovers are key players in the white gold adventure. They have taken possession of the snowscapes and have inflamed people's passion and imagination. They must, however, respect nature's spirit and its rituals. Let us not neglect rituals. They can be the watchdogs for the survival of our mental health, warning us when a well-oiled functioning of our life story is about to disrupt. Rituals can be safeguards hindering us from stumbling into the abyss of nothingness. Rituals can be anchor points providing guidance on our potholed path for the future. Rituals can be reliable safeguards, but plot twists in the theatre of our life should not freak us out. If we are willing to transform ourselves and confront our inner self with the rites of our inner world, we can allow a dialogue within ourselves. In our existential challenge, faltering can give us a choice between ignoring, accepting, or integrating the plot twists on our path.
Factual starting point: Person with ski
French: ''L'artiste a remarqué que toutes sortes de sports ont pris possession de l'esprit de la race humaine. Il a vu comment ils peuvent enflammer les passions de tant de masses. Il a également observé comment les groupes d'intérêt manœuvrent pour développer ces branches. Ce tableau représente un example du commerce sportif: le ski et le trafic de l'or blanc. * Dutch: De kunstenaar heeft gemerkt dat allerlei sporttakken bezit hebben genomen hebben genomen van de geest van het menselijk ras. Hij heeft gezien hoe zij de passies van zoveel massa's kan ontvlammen. Hij merkte ook op hoe belangengroepen manoeuvreren om deze sporttakken te ontwikkelen. Dit schilderij is een voorbeeld van de sporthandel: skisport. De handel met wit goud. |
