Just a moment

watercolor on paper rouge 600g. cm. 45 x 80 - private collection - Moscov





The moment, before an event.

The moment in which the horse perceives the roar of thunder, which precedes the thunderbolt before a storm.

Just a moment, what does that mean exactly?

When we talk about time we can not be precise.
Time, an ephemeral and fleeting entity, is not measurable, time is what we have established, through the conventions of measurement, but it escapes any scientific rule or convention.
It is interesting to note that we humans measure time by quantity: seconds, hours, days, months, years, centuries, or synaesthetic factors, such as pervadence of light, or night, smells, tastes, and colors.
But we also measure it in our memories, at least in our memories or in our experiences, always linked to the temporal factor.

Time can become a moment or a period X. But as the moment or an instant is not quantifiable, it is a notion that is beyond the reach of human knowledge, at least for our studies and scientific knowledge.

I deliberately will not mention the space-time relationship, because I do not have the scientific skills.
We know that this relationship is the nerve center of the existence of the Cosmos, and that I find extremely fascinating for my creative work.

I would just like to mention a thought of the immense Genio-Scientist Albert Einstein on which to try to reflect and find incomparable suggestions for our mind and especially for our well-being by relying on the affectivity towards Nature:

A human being is a part of a whole, called "universe" by us, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separate from the rest ... a sort of optical illusion of his consciousness. This illusion is a kind of prison for us, which limits us to our personal desires and affection for some people closer to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by enlarging our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and all of nature in its beauty.

Unfortunately, our only certainty linked to time is the aging of the human body and the brain.
While the elements of Nature are free from the consciousness of feeling the pains and the ailments of old age or the approach of death.

As the supreme Einstein said; Time is an illusion.

I often invent, entrusting myself to imagination and imagination, even if I do not follow a Catholic doctrine, I suggest a very interesting book on the problem of time, very suitable for artists and creatives.
The Confessions of Saint Augustine
Book XI

A hug in the name of creation that wins the time.

Detail

L'attimo, prima di un evento.

L'attimo in cui il cavallo percepisce il boato del tuono, che precede il fulmine prima di una tempesta.

Soltanto un attimo, cosa significa esattamente?

Quando parliamo del tempo non possiamo essere precisi.
Il tempo, entità effimera e fugace, non è misurabile, il tempo è quello che NOI abbiamo stabilito, attraverso le convenzioni della misurazione, ma esso sfugge ad ogni regola o convenzione scientifica.

E' interessante notare che noi esseri umani il tempo lo misuriamo per quantità: secondi, ore, giorni, mesi, anni, secoli, oppure per fattori sinestetici, quali, pervadenza della luce, o della notte, odori, sapori, e colori.

Ma lo misuriamo anche nella memoria, almeno serbandolo nei ricordi o nelle esperienze, sempre legate a doppio filo con il fattore temporale.

Il tempo può diventare un attimo o un periodo X. Ma come l'attimo o un istante non è quantificabile, è una nozione fuori dalla portata dello scibile umano, almeno per i nostri studi e conoscenze scientifiche.

Non citerò il rapporto spazio-tempo, perchè non ne ho le competenze.
Sappiamo che questo rapporto è il centro nevralgico dell'esistenza del Cosmo, e che trovo estremamente affascinante, per il mio lavoro di creativo.

Vorrei solo citare un pensiero dell'immenso Genio-Scienziato Albert Einstein, sul quale provare a riflettere e trovare delle suggestioni ineguagliabili per la nostra mente e soprattutto per il nostro benessere affidandoci all'affettività verso la Natura:

Un essere umano è una parte di un tutto, chiamato da noi "universo", una parte limitata nel tempo e nello spazio. Sperimenta se stesso, i suoi pensieri e sentimenti come qualcosa di separato dal resto ... una sorta di illusione ottica della sua coscienza. Questa illusione è una sorta di prigione per noi, che ci limita ai nostri desideri personali e all'affetto per alcune persone più vicine a noi. Il nostro compito deve essere quello di liberarci da questa prigione allargando la nostra cerchia di compassione per abbracciare tutte le creature viventi e tutta la natura nella sua bellezza.

Purtroppo l'unica nostra certezza collegata al tempo è l'invecchiamento del corpo umano e del cervello.
Mentre tutti gli altri elementi della Natura sono resi liberi dalla coscienza del sentire l'uomo no, avverte i dolori e gli acciacchi della vecchiaia o l'avvicinarsi della morte.

Come diceva il sommo Einstein; Il tempo è un' illusione.

Invento spesso, affidandomi alla fantasia e all'immaginazione, anche se non seguo una dottrina cattolica, suggerisco un libro molto interessante sul problema del tempo, molto indicato per gli artisti e i creativi.

Confessioni di Sant Agostino libro XI

Un abbraccio all'insegna della creazione che vince il tempo.

thank you very much for your great support @themadcurator!

You captured the moment perfectly, Armando. I like that you used watercolor for this piece and that colors blended together. I think it's something what never turns out the way you expect..

Also, thank you for interesting thoughts about time. We like to say that we don't have time while there is all the time in the world to do what we like and enjoy. To quantify time only makes us feel pressured and stressed as there are timelines that we want to meet. How relaxed would it be if we wouldn't care about such things :)

Thank you for sharing!

Thank you for your comment @delishtreats personally I think that time is so variable and personal that it takes on a different value from person to person.
Each of us has it freely, but we do not know how much we have available.
It is not forever!

More like an abstract picture this time, and that's good. Nice calm color tones

Wonderfully suggestive watercolour @armandosodano. I love the freshness and lightness of this painting and the free-flowing watermarks with just the slightest hint of your linework.

Thank you very much! I read in your critique that you have a lot of skill with watercolor. A big hug made me very happy.

I haven't been working with watercolour for many years now ~ And I'm feeling the pangs of missing it. Your work inspires me to work with this medium again. But for now. I'm just starting to work with some small drawings. ♥︎♥︎⚖️♥︎♥︎

Too bad this doesn't show properly in nTopaz... It is a very beautiful watercolour painting @armandosodano!! 🎨💙

Next time maybe you could upload a very small version around 1000 pixels for the preview pic on nTopaz and place another bellow full size or clickable image so we can see in the resulotion you prefere to show it.

With the following code you should be able to make them on your posts:
<a href="full size image URL">*</a>
By some reason I cannot put the code... but that asterisk above is: <img continuing with src="preview smaller image URL" />

Time is a curious thing. It appears to start moving faster, as we get older... no?
Great artwork, Armando!

Tutto vero, l'illusione della separazione da ciò che è fuori di noi. Io ci credo fermamente che facciamo parte di un tutto, il problema è riuscire ad applicare queste idee nella vita quotidiana!
Mannaggia a noi!
Grande Armando, come sempre, sia per il testo che il dipinto.

Ciao Aki hai messo il dito nella piaga, la vita quotidiana ci limita, ma possiamo sempre avere dei comportamenti propositivi che favoriscono il nostro benessere, delle persone e degli elementi che ci circondano. Un abbraccione.

Wow! It is a beautiful work @armandosodano, although to see it completely I had to go to steemit because by ntopaz you can only see the top part.

I loved the colors and the way you work with watercolor... amazing! <3 <3 <3
