Description
The human imagination is unrestricted by prosaic, even tactile, realities of day to day life. We plant our feet firmly on the ground each day and say, as we greet the day, 'this is a single world and we are in it. 'Caveat emptor!' or 'Here we go again..' depending on whether it seems to be going well or badly. But this seems to be 'it.' Yet, scientists calculate that reality, as revealed in the secrets of the stars and in the profundities of the minutest particles, may not be as simple. They talk of parallel, or even multiple, universes, and the physical reality of paradox - in common sense terms. Thus, the paradoxical imagination in style, at least, seems not altogether as out of touch with reality as one might think. When we dream landscapes such as this, do we perhaps use our capacity for symbolic paradox that intuitively simulates realities we do not fathom at a conscious, day to day level? Is Nonsense simply shorthand for a deeper form of Sense, not so much formulated through cosmic mathematics but surmised through free imagery? Hence this, a desert landcape, clear sky above topped by another desert landscape bathed in a red sunset, as in another world, but superimposed one above the other, apparently. The bird represents the characteristic of the unknown and the surprising in all perceived reality, as a form of life, and the eye, in place of the early moon, that insight that turns inwards to find the meaning of what is apparently outside.

Your paintings are dramatically colorful and your written description is beautifully presented. v
Arjun L Sen replied:
Thanks, Marcia, your comment says what I hope to have tried to get across. I must have succeeded for you to say this. Your support means a lot to me. It's a great encouragement. I am not an experienced artist and I am well aware that other artists on this site have trained and worked for years. It is a privilege to receive kind and positive comments from experienced painters and photographers.

Bold and direct! I quote three lines from one of your own poems " So strong are we to fly in fighter planes A hundred miles above the fleecy clouds The world below is surely lost to sight... "
Arjun L Sen replied:
Thanks, Johny - I'm 'dead chuffed' (Northern English dialect) that you recollected lines from one of my poems...:))
Raul Gubert
and you are right, I definetly felt that interpreting your painting was another form of art...coooooolllll!!!!!
Raul Gubert
thank you to you, did not do any effort to do the interpretation, I think a masterpiece has this quality of generating other art....Anita is on the same line of thinking....we can go, the three of us to take a coffee in some bar and talk and have fun about art....will do one day...thanks again...
Raul Gubert
I ask Anita to give me her interpretation of what is a masterpiece, if you want tell me your vision about that....
Arjun L Sen replied:
Raul, you are doing EXACTLY what I want a painting like this to do - and this is why I know it succeeded. Your alert and active mind interpreted it YOUR way which is what should happen. The painting does NOT belong to me except commercially (copyright). I start a painting - and then someone else continues the act of creation through interpretation. A painting does not have one meaning. I now know more about it from your observation than I knew before. :)
Raul Gubert
again MMPE...I read the explanation, very interesting but for me it represent another thing...the orange sun is an egg, like a new life, a life to come...and the bird is a life that has done is journey and is going to finish....(is black a with a certain amount of drama, it seems to scream)....and the eye is the representation of the observer....like a mirror we can see us observing.....really a powerful painting.....
