A painting… a drawing…
start with a point.
One out of infinite possibilities…
Then follows a line,
on the surface of height and width,
following the comprehensive wind.
Finding and diving into the depths,
crushing, caressing, capturing… a space.
Almost touching the horizon…
As a whisper of the wind on the cutting edge.
Once upon a time…
“One day many… many years ago…
Almost yesterday…
Symona Colina came across a beautiful box with colored pencils…
It was a bit like looking at a rainbow, finding a rainbow.
She picked up the box filled with these colored pencils.
Sat down in the evening light and started to draw…
Not aware, at the time, that it was the beginning of a never-ending story…

One starts with a point, then follows the line… following the comprehensive wind…

Composing with the shades of rainbow-light…
Brushes in a hand, weaving lines and tunes into the shades…
Words strung like beads on a string fall featherlight on a thin surface…
A song to see…
Rainbow-light grows into whispered words of a high-pitched rhapsody…
A song to see.
A world to see…
Art has many interfaces with existence.
It is all round in its countless disciplines - and nevertheless unlimited.
The interfaces employed by Symona Colina in the visual arts chiefly tie in with: 'spatial perception, spatial thinking and contemplation.' - Through which infinity apparently comes within reach.
