GAMES OF THE SOUL

The 2nd part of my TRILOGY ABOUT SOUL has the title GAMES OF THE SOUL and it is a series of 17 paintings supported by poems I wrote for each one of them. They represent the first awakenings of Princess Psyche's soul and its journeys through the winding, endless rivers of human emotions, after she overcame Venus' trials to win back her husband Eros, according to the ancient Greek myth of EROS & PSYCHE.

GAMES OF THE SOUL is the continuation of my Dissertation video art piece CHAOS & PSYCHE, completed in Boston, in 1992.

It focuses not only on the new perspective of self-esteem, self-trust, and self-worth that a woman could have after a strong crisis in her life but also, on the internal balance and harmony she gains after that change, as she finally finds the insight to see life as a child again.

Every picture suggests its own progression, with no obvious destination, leading the viewer gently in many directions to explore the feelings of the soul.

Each visual trip is like a playful game that is completely free from the boundaries of rules. You are invited to jump inside, live in it, improvise, free your inner feelings, and experience them with the unspoiled eyes of a child.

These paintings can release the restrictions of the soul to open up a new joyful exposure to life for those who dare to love themselves and all of their existence!

GAMES OF THE SOUL is the visual research on a subject that is without visible form but exists inside a place that only the soul can create.

It is dedicated to all contemporary women of the world who fight for their self-acceptance, self-love, self-identity, and who find the strength finally to trust their intuition.

SOUL BALANCE

IN THE ART OF "IKEBANA"

THERE ARE THREE ELEMENTS

WHICH SYMBOLIZE HARMONY IN THE UNIVERSE.

THESE ARE THE THREE INVIOLABLE PRESUPPOSITIONS

ABOVE, IN THE MIDDLE AND BELOW

FOR THE WISDOM OF KNOWLEDGE OF THE COSMOS

WHICH CORRESPOND TO

THE SKY, THE EARTH, AND THE HUMAN BEING.

THOSE THREE ELEMENTS

ARE ENCLOSED IN AN INTELLIGIBLE TRIANGLE

WHICH TOUCHES HARMONY.

AND WHEN THAT HAPPENS

YOU WON'T BE ONLY A DIVER IN THE ETERNAL

BLUE SKY,

BUT ALSO INTO THE CRYSTAL WATERFALLS

OF THE SPIRITUAL IMMORTALITY.
