The island

There is an island, very small, in each of us.
We try to color it to our liking, or to describe it to others, to tell it and invite them.

An island of light.

It's ours, we created it.
It is part of our experience, and in our imagination it is the island of our dreams.

An island that is not there but exists inside us.

Rich in colors, reflections, love and peace.
There is not only us on that island, other lucky inhabitants live there.

They are those who escape the daily bad things, who flee from disappointments and who try to be useful to others, with color ideas.

Those lucky islanders donate flowers and hugs to travelers who are considered a resource.
Because we are all travelers and we always have something to share.

We try in every way with love and passion to make proselytes, on the journey to the island.

Our island is the refuge of the anguish of life, when we are sad or depressed it becomes the place.
A pure and simple place, based on the exchange of experiences and feelings, where poetry is declaimed and dreams are portrayed.

We need her, her light, her breeze that carries the joys from east to west.
A dreamed meditation that only in color could be.
If we dream in color, the island appears.

A hug from the island that is not there.
Armando.

L'isola:

C'è un'isola, piccolissima, in ognuno di noi.
Cerchiamo di colorarla a nostro piacimento, oppure di descriverla agli altri, di raccontarla e di invitarli.

Un'isola di luce.

E' nostra, l'abbiamo creata noi.
Fa parte del nostro vissuto, e nella nostra fantasia è l'isola di nostri sogni.

Un'isola che non c'è, ma esiste, dentro di noi.

Ricca di colori, di riflessi, di amore e di pace.
Non ci siamo solo noi in quell'isola, altri fortunati la abitano.

Sono quelli che si sottraggono alle cattiverie quotidiane, che fuggono dalle delusioni e che cercano di essere utili agli altri, con le idee a colori.

Quei fortunati isolani donano fiori e abbracci ai viaggiatori che sono considerati una risorsa.
Perchè tutti noi siamo viaggiatori e abbiamo sempre qualcosa da condividere.

Cerchiamo in tutti i modi con amore e passione di fare proseliti, nel viaggio verso l'isola.

La nostra isola è il rifugio delle angustie della vita, quando siamo tristi o depressi diventa il luogo.
Un luogo puro e semplice, basato sullo scambio delle esperienze e delle sensazioni, dove si declamano poesie e si dipingono sogni.

Abbiamo bisogno di lei, della sua luce, della sua brezza che trasporta le gioie da oriente a occidente.
Una meditazione sognata che solo a colori poteva essere.
Se sogniamo a colori appare l'isola.

Un abbraccio dall'isola che non c'è.
Armando.

Very cool painting, Armando. The island looks beautiful and the little boats on the sea are really charming. Thanks for sharing!

So lovely, this particular piece has elegance in the way that it establishes forms and shadows with minimalistic approach <3 I really like what you write along with the piece, and it is true that we are all an islands, but that we have a warmth or light within us that we should share with others. They are our original expressions, our voices and the light of our hearts.

And, you really portrays this topic so wonderfully with your painting, the way the island GLOWS as it reflects against the water, and how the little boats are staying a little distance from it, this is a wonderful composition. I can tell that the island of light is inviting those boats to come closer and to share its light with them :)
