Autobiographical notes
Um - this is known and unknown, beyond the mind - the unknowable.
Osho
All artists - musicians, poets, painters and dancers tried to express the inexpressible, unknowable, but it is so difficult that even if we manage to give an indirect hint - just a finger pointing at the moon - is an achievement. Ineffable no sense, . It is also important when we try to express it in different ways - is a creative process, . And if we are going through SOMETHING-Ineffable, . that part is in the works, . and if this experience is profound and pervasive you experience the Beyond in yourself and yourself into the beyond - becomes one with the BAT, . removing the 'Clouds of mind' with infinite shining unspeakable beauty - and because of causeless ETERNAL 'Consciousness of Heaven' - this is meditation, . this is the experience of awareness of the immortal spirit within us ...,
. Painting - as a work of art for me, this is not the image of nature, natural phenomenon
. As the bird sings, and in the creation bezusilnost and naturalness of the artist becomes a "natural phenomenon", the technique requires the creator of "art and artlessness of controlled random. In other words disciplined spontaneity or spontaneous discipline (no contradiction artist and material, nature and spirit, good and evil, the subject and object - it's always two sides of one coin).
If the result is important in the works or purpose. it is not a creature is the work (custom rabotaN!), such work we are doing ourselves with the energy of the mind. When the work begins now, then there is no action, but there is the virgin of energy that do not have the energy of the mind that frolic and play in you and you only allow them to it and then you become and the flute on the lips of God
. In art there is no objective, . because there is no victory, . which can be won and there is no end, . which can be achieved, . but there is a process - an experience (which includes the goals and victories) - experience, . which are the reward, . because a person without a goal, . and therefore without haste, . -The world turns to all his senses and becomes able to be empty - to accommodate this world, . ie,
. experience "here and now".
Vladimir Portyanoy Criticism
The biggest dangers of modern artist - a fear to be yourself. Some, fearing accusations of "shlyagernosti" deliberately sharpened pictorial language, goes down to "zaum, Pseudoscience, false meaningfully. Others fall into the opposite extreme, seeking at all costs like everyone, produce infantile, mediocre podelochki, sometimes disguising them under the "naive" art. Merit
Vladimir Portyanogo that he happily escaped the temptations of both, cornfields retaining the right to unlimited creativity and spiritual freedom. So he dohodchiv, and complicated at the same time - a sign, unmistakably characteristic of a true artist. The secret of his method - in the disclosure of the Slavic worldview by means of modern European painting, from which he took in oruzhenie most uninhibited and expressive (no wonder the most revered master them - Picasso). This means, . that he is continuing to honor pro started at the beginning of the century the best of his countrymen - those, . who in the legendary "Russian artistic assault" instilled spicy, . sharing of fragrant exotic luxury deadly culture of western modernity,
. It would be strange if he had not appealed to the Bible stories - they are fundamental to the whole world classics, but it is in Russia related to the divine originals stained particularly bordering the exaltation of trepidation. That Russian painters managed to introduce the characters of ancient Christian history in a village hut, . without leaf, . philosophically organically marry signs and images of distant, . enveloped in a mysterious haze of the East with sparse, . unpretentious everyday life longing for romance, . yearning for an ideal people,
.
Vladimir Portyanoy, . mastering energy complex magical codes and symbols, . however, not ashamed and pure "peasant" aesthetic and decorative, . using folklore as the beginning of the remedy to restore the pristine harmony, . find the lost perfection, . get out of the abyss, . which has brought us betrayal of the highest, . heavenly landmarks - the, . that still, . fortunately, . is discernible in the "national", . 'ethnic',
. Whatever the topic may occupy the imagination of the painter (and the range of his insatiable quest is quite wide), . in fact its only - and the persistent flame - the passion is the idea of restoration of the cosmos - as the divine, . heavenly, . and human, . Terrestrial,
. Each of his canvas, the cycle - this is another attempt by the artist to fill a gaping hole spirituality, to regain a foothold in the next truly apocalyptic battle for the new, transformed world
