About Me

HOME PAGE: www.paradoxethereal.comFORUM

From my "9 Muses" series".This one is Terpsichore, the muse of dance. Inspired by “An ode to music” by James G. Percival
WHAT IS PARADOX ETHEREAL Paradox Ethereal is a message in the bottle, an idea with a life of its own and a meeting point of artists that share creation and influences.
As the initiator of the group I admit I still haven't finished sharing what haunts me; after I finish I will start again... Paradox Ethereal is an idea I've always had, something like a memory, and everything in my life pointed at this direction...

The "paradox" and the "ethereal" are "two antithetical terms, a way of life that experiences and expresses both extremes until one reaches platonic synthesis and harmony. We remember what we create… inspiration pre-exists in archetypal form eager to be fulfilled.… Sentiment and imagination prevail..." (extract from the Manifesto of Paradox Ethereal .)

All works or art presented in Paradox Ethereal follow this concept, so some careful internal tourism took place, as well as some dreamwork and sharing.

Years ago I started a mind game… I displaced the supposed attributes of an idea or creature and I placed in the empty from impressions “description” some new attributes which had to do only with the “decisive moment” of each occurrence. This helped a lot as a new world emerged… this was more realistic…and healthy. So, applying this in photography/a piece of writing we stand in front of a human attitude that becomes so mechanical that the photographer/writer does not think when he shoots/writes as he masters and handles the change in his Neuro linguistic patters, meaning that he catches the "decisive moment" spontaneously and fast , and he or she is able to understand which images/ideas conveyed escape the social, pre-defined "attributes.VIEW A SAMPLE OF MY PHOTOGRAPHY (use the +/- for slide show speed and scroll with the arrow to see full window, pointing you arrow on the images you can see their titles...what I had in mind while while shooting them.. )The observing approach of a movement and its conveyed impression can both comprise a source of further inspiration. Only then can self- observation and purposeless pursuit alternate, only then may the utilization of one's eyes of the soul have an inverse proportion with the tendency to “alternate” With others, but never “mingle”. Are we stripped bodies following parallel routes, are we any man confronted with the revelation of nature, our very own nature? or are we images dancing in the wind after having been worn to a shadow by ecstasy to such a degree that we have been transformed into a single archetypal figure that celebrates Creation? Time provides us with an answer; it eliminates everything in an unconceivable way, though its movement is perceived nostalgically, forbiddingly and linearly. And then we are metamorphosed. The three age brackets alternate? You wonder? What a primrose path it is to judge others or hide yourself, and how hard and difficult it is to learn how to cross an isolated street all by yourself being aware that none is watching you?

DIONYSUS' GARLANDS (IN ECSTASY)by Mary Vareli -for a full words and images profile of Mary Vareli click here:-

His breath, the wolves in the woods. Round the trees, garlands. Made of lust his presence hurts. The wind fierce. She cries… Under the sky stark naked bliss like maroon kiss. The garlands…

I'd like to meet:

People with a keen interest in art, painting-literature-photography, and myhology or music who wish to share their work. Paradox Ethereal is a transcendental art movement that collects distributes and expands philosophically the idea of the “Romantic personality” by means of artistic creation (read my first blog submission concerning HOMO NEO ROMANTICUS ).

Free membership and free Home page here: www.paradoxethereal.com. All artists receive free promotion and participation in multimedia events provided that their work is in accordance with Paradox Ethereal Manifesto. PE is non profit. Members come from several countries and not all of them are artists, most are lovers of the arts; they were brought together by sharing the same aesthetic characteristics in their art or art preferences and by their opposition to the “tyranny of our senses”.PART OF PARADOX ETHEREAL MANIFESTO The ones who share similar or identical opinionsare invited to join the group here: Site: www.paradoxethereal.com (select "New User")- Where does inspiration come from? Inspiration is found everywhere because it pre-exists. The more we develop our abilities the more we approach absolute inspiration and supreme creation. This is the place where artists elicit their topics from and this is where fairies following inspiration worm in our dreams… The point of the emission of inspiration is crucial. This is where the secret lies. Human conscious mind cannot force hyper consciousness to execute its demands by means of an agonistic inspiration, since it is the reformation of influences and personal touch that takes a specific form as soon as harmony, the gift provided by hyper- consciousness, is infused. Humans, by means of their deeds, create the reception for inspiration. They are part of harmony since they have it intergraded deep inside. What is left is to search for harmony deep inside the superior parts of the Self, what remains is to understand what inspires us the very moment when we forget who we are but remember what we will create. Whatever exists pre-existed and what truly touches us in a creation is harmony.NEW ROMANTIC TIP: Try this fantastic personality test and add it to your profile, I hide mine for safety reasons!!

"This suspense is terrible. I hope it will last." --Oscar Wilde

(Love found me totally disarmed) --Petrarca"If your everyday life seems poor, don't blame it; blame yourself; admit to yourself that you are not enough of a poet to call forth its riches; because for the creator there is no poverty and no indifferent place."-- Rainer Maria Rilke"Give your difference, welcome my difference, unify all difference in the larger whole -- such is the law of growth. The unifying of difference is the eternal process of life -- the creative synthesis, the highest act of creation."-- M. P. Follett“I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead; I lift my eyes and all is born again.”-- Sylvia Plath"If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear … as it is, infinite.” -- William Blake “And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music.”-- Angela Monet”If you don’t know where you are going, any path will get you there. ” — Lewis CarrollWhen an inner situation is not made conscious, it appears outside as our fate. — Carl Jung~WHAT IS PARADOX ETHEREAL~
