JOURNEY WITHIN - INTROSPECTION



Each of us, at least at one moment in life, feels lonely and small, carried by the waves of life, but also strong and big enough to emerge from our own depths and face fate head-on.


UNREAL REAL SELF / NESTVARNO STVARNA JA


There’s a world—
wild and bright—
I can’t put it into words.
I’m not sure it’s even real,
yet it lives inside me.

It shapes quiet places
where mystery lingers
and dreams begin.

I don’t know if I’ve been there
or only imagined it,
a small me floating
on a restless sea
with no clear shore.

And I can’t say
if it was truly me
who rose from those depths,
steady and tall,
eyes wide, seeing.




The image Unreal Real Self was created in parallel with the poem that describes inner wanderings, fears, but also courage. 

Nestvarno stvarna ja


Ima jedan svijet
Strašan i divan
Ne mogu ga prevesti u riječi
Jer nisam sigurna postoji li
(A ipak je tako stvaran)

Stanuje negdje unutra
Gradi krajolike pune misterije
U kojima se rađaju snovi

Ne sjećam se jesam li ga živjela
Ili samo razmišljala o njemu
Dok sam sasvim malena
plivala u nemirnom moru
Nedefniranih obala

Ne znam ni jesam li to bila baš ja
Koja je izronila iz dubina
Velika i stamena
Otvorenih očiju
Koje vide.

🎁  “Girl in the Shallows – A Gift and a Conversation”   Painting and Emotion Gift from the Artist Winston Churchill as a Painter Holding a paintbrush is like entering a hidden room in the mind. Only colors and imagination know the way in. And once there, in that silence, images appear that are more than just pictures — they are feelings. A girl in the shallows, back turned, gazing toward the horizon.  The sea is silent.  She is too. And somehow, in that shared silence, a conversation begins.   As one Croatian poet wrote: "... I watch the sea as it climbs toward me, and I listen — good morning, it says. And it listens to me, as I whisper, good morning, sea, I say softly..."   Painting of the Month: “Girl in the Shallows” (oil on canvas)                        Some paintings don't want to speak out loud. They whisper. They stand still, turned away from the world, waiting… to be felt. Maybe...

Each painting is a trace of light caught in passing - perhaps you will find yout own.     Svaka slika je trag svjetla uhvaćenog u prolazu - možda pronađete svoj.   DOBRODOŠLI!  U ovom prostoru boje govore tišinom. Ovdje slike nisu samo slike - one u tragovi trenutaka uhvaćenih u prolazu, zrnca svjetla u svakodnevnici, svjedočanstva tihe radosti i čežnje za ljepotom. Vjerujem da svaki potez kistom može prenijeti ono što riječi ne uspiju. Da platno može čuvati ono neizrečeno- pogled, sjećanje, mir. Možda ćete prepoznati nešto svoje u ovim bojama. Možda vas neki kadar podsjeti da je život, usprkos svemu, čudesan. Da ima Svjetlo. I  smisao.  Zastanite. Udahnite. Gledajte polako.  Ako poželite pitati nešto, javite mi se - volim razgovore koji nastaju iz gledanja. Dobrodošli u moj svijet slika i tišine. Dobrodošli u trag svjetla. -  A n Skal  wherecoloursdance@gmail.com
