Peinture et Medit...

Robin Robin said: " « Peinture et méditation » s’intéresse moins à l’histoire de l’art qu’à la sagesse. Pevernagie y explore la perception comme un acte philosophique : regarder devient une forme de présence, et peindre un mode d’investigation de l’être. "

“How come we think we are irrefutably right all the time? What makes us show off our rightness so often? If we agree that we don't just perceive the world, but we frame it, we must admit that errors and misunderstandings arise. Due to the differences in lived reality, we become more open to dialogue and are less addicted to carved certainty. (Is it a bird? Is it a plane?)”

“How sure can we be of the soundness of what we think? We see things through the filters of our minds. Our perception is a product of our mind's interpretive framework. What we perceive is an interpretation soaked in context, memory, and partiality that arises from our conscious engagement with the world. (Is it a bird? Is it a plane?)”

“Let us not ruminate on lost stories of a shattered past but make room for the radiant colors of new horizons. (“Going back to yesterday“)”

“Every so often, we see many people feel uncomfortable with facing the truth. The truth seems to be a brittle deer. We should, however, not fear the fragility of truth, for it creates openness to correction, learning, and growth. It fosters empathy, making inquiry, curiosity, and wisdom possible. Truth becomes less about possession and more about pursuit. (Is it a bird? Is it a plane?)”

“What do we actually expect of our data processor? As our computers acquire interactive interfaces, voices, and adaptive behavior, we may be tempted to invest emotion in them, but they offer only simulation, which breeds intense irritation. It is like trying to love a mirror that won't love back. ("My computer does not understand me")”
