Vida: Life

2 Acrylic on linen canvas (each has 40 x 51 cm)

The energy of the paintings has a kind of electricity, yt is the colors, the textures.
This paint can take you somewhere else, as if they transport you to a place of energy, to an immediate connection with everything that is. To the center of everything that exists, everything that has form, everything that simply is. 

That is where life begins.

Everything you see, and everything you cannot see, is alive. And sometimes, all it takes is a spark to feel it. That spark of electricity.

For something to begin, energy is necessary. For a chemical reaction to take place, there must be something that triggers the cascade of reactions, a change in temperature, the presence of water or oxygen, another reactive element, or the addition of a solvent that alters the dynamics and changes the equation. What once appeared lifeless can suddenly become full of life.

So, what is life? Perhaps life is simply energy in motion. It may seem like a vague question, but at the same time, it is an infinitely expansive one.

Life is everything you see and everything you cannot see.

Everything that reacts. Everything that acts. Everything that responds, adapts, changes, transforms, manifests. But what is life to you? Can a thought be alive? Can an emotion be alive? Who decides what is life, and what is not?

Life may be everything that exists both outside and within you, everything that is happening in this precise second.

Think about everything that is happening in a single second. Could you quantify it?

That is how powerful the energy of life is.

For life to emerge, countless combinations must occur simultaneously. An extraordinary number of elements, conditions, molecules, temperatures, and circumstances must come together for life to happen.

Your existence is the result of billions upon billions of substances, molecules, temperatures, conditions, reactions, and circumstances that had to align at precisely the right moment for you to be here.

Doesn't that make your mere existence a reason to be grateful?  A reason to pause. A reason to marvel. A miracle. The miracle of life
