the virtuous man is driven by responsibility the non-virtuous man is driven by profit (Kong Fuzi) Imagination is more powerful than knowledge. A developed imagination allows the transformation of reality into eternity. Artists who build their dreams from a mass of ideas which ensnared them while awake from their sleep will stop the time in perfection. Art is a continuous revolution. A constant search until it reaches the limits of the impossible. Vitality is insistently vibrated to refuse mortality. Bringing the non-existence into existence. Thus, it is understandable to say that a work of art is the biological child of the artist.

Her children are in the form of paintings for Eva Bubla, which has consecrated herself to be a painter. Her experiences and the deepening of life underlie her creative process.

manusia unggul mengerti apa yang benar manusia rendah mengerti apa yang laku dijual (Kong Fuzi) Imajinasi lebih kuat dari pengetahuan. Daya khayal yang dikembangkan mampu mengolah realitas menjadi sebuah keabadian. Seniman yang membangun mimpi dari tumpukan ide yang disergap saat terjaga dari tidur akan menghentikan waktu dalam kesempurnaan. Seni adalah revolusi tanpa henti. Pencarian terus menerus hingga mencapai batas-batas yang paling mustahil. Daya hidup digetarkan bertubi-tubi menolak daya mati. Menjadikan yang tiada menjadi ada. Maka bisa dimengerti jika dikatakan bahwa sebuah karya seni merupakan anak kandung dari senimannya. Eva Bubla (27 tahun) warga Hongaria, setelah menikah dengan Dewa Keindahan cukup produktif melahirkan anak. Anak-anaknya berupa lukisan-lukisan sebab Eva Bubla menasbihkan dirinya menjadi seorang pelukis. Pengalaman dan pendalaman hidup mendasari proses kreatifnya. Keberadaan diri, problem dan konflik, cara pandang dalam membaca rahasia a...

«Notre siècle est le siècle de l'art», écrit Thomas Hoving, le rédacteur en chef de Connoisseur et ancien directeur du Metropolitan Museum of Art.«La civilisation assimile l'art avec l'éternité." Le sens de la phrase, pas vraiment une nouveauté, a été décrié par les État-Unis et a provoqué l’étonnement de différentes communautés à travers le monde. Durant la période de la Grèce antique, la civilisation elle même était considérée comme  art de l'immortalité. Les répercussions pour la civilisation émanent  de brillantes réalisations artistiques, tant dans le domaine de la littérature, art, musique, théâtre, etc. Notre civilisation en mouvement est la plus importante de l'histoire des civilisations. Une période de l'innovation technologique qui ne cesse d'augmenter de façon remarquable. Notre communauté est immergé dans le flot d'informations et  a soif de connaissances ; les opportunités économiques sont abondantes et les politiques hallucinantes. R...

"Our century is the century of art", wrote Thomas Hoving, the editor of Connoisseur and former director of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. "Civilization equates art with eternity." The meaning of the sentence, which is not really a new matter, was bellowed by the great United State and somehow gave a certain astonishment to the worldwide community. Whereas in the days of Ancient Greece, civilization had been comparing art with immortality and so it was believed to be the century of art. The summit of civilization’s gains was marked by the emergence of brilliant artistic achievements, both in the field of literature, art, music, drama, and so forth. People who were uninterested and bare not to appreciate the art, were considered to be in the class of those who were left behind. Now is the most important momentum in the history of civilization. A period in which technological innovation keep growing remarkably. The community is submerged in the flood of infor...

Esai Seni Rupa oleh Seruni Bodjawati di koran Kedaulatan Rakyat Di era sekarang ini, tatkala konsumen didudukkan sebagai maharaja yang harus dilayani, karya seni lebih dipandang sebagai produk budaya yang dinilai secara kasat mata. Pembicaraan cenderung mengarah pada teknik pembahasaan, tingkat kesulitan pengerjaan, daya pukau yang dimiliki dan ujungnya adalah nilai nominal pasar. Sebuah karya lebih dicermati badannya dan bukan ruhnya. Bukan soal tema dan pemikiran yang diusung tapi kecanggihan penggarapan dan kekuatan sensasinya. Seni sebagai media ekspresi psikologis terabaikan. Estetika seolah dipisahkan dari emosi. Sewajarnyalah, arus deras komersialisasi selalu menggendong kemerosotan mutu. Produksi yang melimpah ruah meminggirkan kontemplasi. Mengejar aktualitas. Melahirkan keserbatergesa-gesaan. Muaranya hanya pada motivasi tunggal yaitu kepentingan ekonomi. Bagaimana karya bisa lancar diperdagangkan hingga menghasilkan keuntungan materi. Apa akibatnya kalau para p...
