Origin

Posted on by lignes invisibiles

The origin of every sort of history are the internal and external stimuli we happen to meet there outside or inside.

This morning I saw a painting sitting on a bench, abandoned and completely alone. The sun hasn’t still reached and touched it, because it was late and the sun wouldn’t reach this point at this time, since some buildings were stopping the warm sunlight to pass through. The painting was waiting for someone or something on that bench outside the museum and it seems like I was passing by at that very moment – not earlier, not later, in which no one else would pass by. Thus, seeing that angelical face from far away in a moment, in which I was the only observer, felt like a privilege to me and I’ve decided to take the painting with me and place it somewhere inside my personal space. It was a painting of Francisco de Zurbarán. 

Before placing it somewhere inside my space, I would walk with it around the streets and go to the supermarket to buy water. The cashier was curiously watching the angelical face on the painting and then at me. I would like to know what she was thinking, but in the end I have decided that maybe she was thinking about nothing.

I walked back to my personal space – one hand holding the painting, the other holding eight litres of water.

I started writing when I was a child. When I was a child they used to call me "Lallina". I come from Corfu, a small island in the Ionian Sea, Greece. In the past I used to live for three years in Germany and Berlin. After doing my Master and living in Germany I have decided in September 2018 to move to Barcelona. Spain is a magical country and I decided to move there after living in Germany to change my life and myself. Initially my plan was to study theater in Spain, but later I started building small puppets and entered the world of puppets for a while. Now I am are more interested in painting. As for writing, it was always my best companion. Empecé a escribir cuando era niño, en la escuela. Cuando era niña solían llamarme "Lallina". Vengo de Corfú, una pequeña isla en el mar Jónico, Grecia. En el pasado vivía durante tres años en Alemania y Berlín. Después de hacer mi maestría y vivir en Alemania, decidí mudarme a Barcelona en septiembre de 2018. España es un país mágico y decidí mudarme allí después de vivir en Alemania para cambiar mi vida y mi mundo interior. Inicialmente, mi plan era estudiar teatro en España, pero luego comencé a construir pequeños títeres y entré al mundo de los títeres por un tiempo. Ahora estoy más interesado en la pintura. La escritura, siempre fue mi mejor compañero. Bueno, probablemente descubrirán también algunos bocetos. En 2020 comencé también a grabar algunos de los textos, que están disponibles en soundcloud. El propósito era poner los textos a disposición de las personas que no pueden ver.
