The Holy Spirit comes at Pentecost
Acts 2 (New International Version)
The Holy Spirit Comes at Pentecost
1 When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. 2 Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. 3 They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. 4 All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them. 5 Now there were staying in Jerusalem God-fearing Jews from every nation under heaven. 6 When they heard this sound, a crowd came together in bewilderment, because each one heard them speaking in his own language. 7 Utterly amazed, they asked: "Are not all these men who are speaking Galileans? 8 Then how is it that each of us hears them in his own native language? 9 Parthians, Medes and Elamites; residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, 10 Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya near Cyrene; visitors from Rome 11 (both Jews and converts to Judaism); Cretans and Arabs--we hear them declaring the wonders of God in our own tongues!" 12 Amazed and perplexed, they asked one another, "What does this mean?" 13 Some, however, made fun of them and said, "They have had too much wine. "
Hechos 2 (Sagradas Escrituras (1569)
1 Cuando se cumplió plenamente el día de pentecostés, estaban todos unánimes juntos en el mismo sitio; 2 y de repente vino un estruendo del cielo como de un viento vehemente que venía con ímpetu , el cual llenó toda la casa donde estaban sentados; 3 y se les aparecieron lenguas repartidas, como de fuego, que se asentó sobre cada uno de ellos. 4 Y fueron todos llenos del Espíritu Santo, y comenzaron a hablar en otras lenguas, como el Espíritu Santo les daba que hablasen. 5 (Moraban entonces en Jerusalén judíos, varones religiosos, de todas las naciones que están debajo del cielo.) 6 Y hecho este estruendo, se juntó la multitud; y estaban confusos, porque cada uno les oía hablar su propia lengua. 7 Y estaban atónitos y maravillados, diciendo: He aquí ¿no son galileos todos éstos que hablan? 8 ¿Cómo, pues, les oímos nosotros hablar cada uno en su lengua en que somos criados? 9 partos y medos, y elamitas, y los que habitamos en Mesopotamia, en Judea y en Capadocia, en el Ponto y en Asia, 10 En Frigia y Panfilia, en Egipto y en las partes de Africa que está de la otra parte de Cirene, y romanos extranjeros, tanto judíos como convertidos, 11 cretenses y árabes, les oímos hablar en nuestras lenguas las maravillas de Dios. 12 Y estaban todos atónitos y perplejos, diciendo los unos a los otros: ¿Qué es esto? 13 Mas otros burlándose, decían: Que están llenos de mosto.

Through this work, I do not invent anything.
I just reinterpret reality to produce a new one.
As in all my work, that I run, it is the potentiality of all becoming.
What interests me is the limit of reason, a commitment that determines an arbitrary reflexive work that attempts to open a future where our choices are responsible to pay whatever the consequences.
But nothing is written in advance and codes can be decoded as if recode.
Brian Sewell on "What is art?"
I don’t know. Does anybody know? Art is... art is something that brings people like me to life. We need it. It’s a drug. I have to have it. I go skiing, I want to stop. Three days skiing, sliding about, I need to go to a museum. I need to be fed, even by bad pictures, I need my fix. But I can’t define what it is.

Blake and line
Blake's Exhibition and Catalogue of 1809 (E 550):
" The great and golden rule of art, as well as of life , is this: That the more distinct, sharp, and wirey the bounding line, the more perfect the work of art; and the less keen and sharp, the greater is the evidence of weak imitation, plagiarism, and bungling. Great inventors, in all ages, knew this: Protogenes and Apelles knew each other by this line. Rafael and Michael Angelo, and Albert Durer, are known by this and this alone. The want of this determinate and bounding form evidences the want of idea in the artist's mind, and the pretence of the plagiary in all its branches. How do we distinguish the oak from the beech, the horse from the ox, but by the bounding outline? How do we distinguish one face or countenance from another, but by the bounding line and its infinite inflexions and movements? What is it that builds a house and plants a garden, but the definite and determinate? What is it that distinguishes honesty from knavery, but the hard and wirey line of rectitude and certainty [P 65] in the actions and intentions. Leave out this line and you leave out life itself; all is chaos again, and the line of the almighty mus t be drawn out upon it before man or beast can exist.
