Water colour from the Collection Crealiseren & Spiraliseren
“In ‘De Alchemie van het Crealiseren na het Spiraliseren III’ I wanted to focus on the poetic nature of the creative process. For this reason I chose a muted palette. Also, in looking at ‘De Alchemie van het Crealiseren na het Spiraliseren II’ I decided the composition reminded me of a giant tree. This started me thinking about how all things are linked to the five elements and are interconnected. How we are connected to life, both physically and mentally. In the composition, gold and silver half circles descend downward and are almost entirety contained within a circular ‘tree’. The half circles culminate in an egg-shaped container, which is pure gold. The ‘egg’ sits within the ‘trunk’ of the tree, at the very top. Under the ‘egg’ is an orange band, representing earth, and under the band is a series of purple and green ‘piano’ keys. I was thinking about how we achieve harmony within ourselves and the world around us. In that sense, anything we think or create, even ourselves, are part of an interconnected whole. And everything is ephemeral and constantly changing, part of the circle of life …. Like the tree!”,
a reflection from artist Greg Suffanti.
This extraordinary watercolour with a story is part of the QfWf project “World Citizenship from the Street” and the Quest philosophy from Heidi Muijen’s book on a life art game for world citizens: Amor Fati, spelende wijsheid voor de kosmopolis.
On page 465, the painting illustrates a process of development towards the (cosmo)polis: a venture into the playing field in between anarchy – a natural state, or society without a state form – and a political order organized from above, based on discipline and sanctioning through power politics and zero sum games (in organizing). This results in alienation processes and an attitude of indifference and fearful withdrawal, as well as greedy and aggressive attitudes. World citizenship requires on the contrary a creative and dialogic development by empowering each other as human beings!
