You are deep underground. Everything is a hue of black. Suddenly, the water is flooding the place(blue). You see water pouring in from everywhere. Now, seemingly strong and solid structure holding up the place start to crumble. You understand that it is not only the structure collapsing it is your life(red). Some flares of (white) hope keep you running for the exit. But the only things you see in the escape opening are the new waves of blue ruthless water.

You stitch yourself from small pieces. You understand yourself bit by bit. You stitch those bits together to get a better picture. By exploring one layer you actually discover new underlying layers. With your discovery process and time the layers are constantly changing. So the whole process is spiral in the nature - going deeper and deeper and going over the same things over and over again.

Longing |
Longing is based on the lack of the subject you are longing for (the black figure in the lower middle). Add to the mix idealization( the white spots all over), a big chunk of the need to own (the orange figure on the left) and love(the blue spot on the right). Top it off with hope (the green field on the top) and a shadow of not getting it (the black ribbon on the upper half).

Emotion vs Intellect |
Emotion(organic lines) and intellect(straight lines) are two sides of the coin.They always work in tandem. Sometimes the intellect analyses the emotions and bends them to a more logical solution. Sometimes the emotion takes over the intellect and creates a new point of view. You have to nurture both of them and to keep both of them in balance. One of them gets out of hands and your inner self get handicapped.

Umberto Boccioni
States of Mind : The Farewells |
You want to go, you want to stay. You are not sure what to do (The yellow structure in the lower left corner). But the attraction of new, of change wins over. You take the dive(the black structure in the lower left middle). Then the stream of journey takes you further and further away, where on one side everything is new and exciting and on the other side things remind you what you have left.

Ellsworth Kelly
Study for Blue White, 1960 |
Woman. It's the lips you kiss. It's the back, you caress. It's the hair, you trace. It's the wit that sharp as a knife that opens up to you. And still she is a black hole of unknown mystery.

Temporal, 2013 |
Time is relative. Sometimes you feel time goes by as a mountain stream - fast, powerful, unstoppable (the blue ribbon on the left). Sometimes it shifts to a crawl (multiple red figures), especially when you are waiting for something(yellow figures). There are days when you think the time goes backwards(black lines). The time on the other hand just moves on without any concern about how you feel about it(the upper part of the painting).

Slightly Silver |
Everything that was important in your life became small irrelevant. It is torn into small pieces and seems to you as a collage of your former life. Everything is still. The big black grief is blocking any movements in your life. The grief is feeding on your memories (the white structure). The only thing that is fighting the standstill is the desire to live/hope (the blue structures). The hope is creating new life(the thicker red nets) and trying to bond thouse pockets of resistance together.

Fernand Léger
The House in the trees, La Maison dans les arbres, 1913
Your house (the orange colored structures on the left) should be in harmony with nature (the green spheres from the lower left to the upper middle). When it does (the green stripes between the house and the trees, and the light green small trees on the left), the nature will envelope you and protect you from outside forces.
