About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Working for truth accordance between quotidianity- practical life and ideology-cosmology, Find my best way to conciliate art-creation, social interaction and environment...beeing surprised, conscious of reality still having pleasure, reason and crazyness

ABOUT ME

Knowing all or everything about something/somebody seems an ilusion for me, and one of mankind's biggest mistakes. Knowledge(s) is often very relative still when living surrounded by cliches and stereotypes which determines our lifes, it's a pity how creativity and sensitivity are getting lost. I don't like to generalise but let's say human blind homogenization scares me...once an anthropology teacher told me:"la diversité fait la richesse", diversity makes riches, I agree. I love art and aesthetics but not as a main shape, I like to see deeper which doesn't mean everything has to be complicated but come on!!criticize is OK when we build apart/within and we need it today. I don't think my truth is The truth but I like to believe and feel things/actions existing in my spirit, sharing and hearing are priorities for me. I love to danse, take pictures, paint, i'm keen on all forms of art more or less, learn, travel, beeing in the nature. I like to confront myself with problems and strange situations contexts. I really don't like lies. I like direct people, but mystery seduces me. I'm very active and most of the time extrovert but I appreciate to be with timid/shy/introvert people because i often search for calm/quite moments. Knowing people/cultures abroad is also one of my missions. Aaahhh I just say goodbye for the moment...

PHILOSOPHY

Work in progress. Future Past PRESENT!!!!
