THE ECSTASY OF GOLD Painting by Jean-François Suys

I believe it's time to start a U-turn movement,away from the current appreciation of works of art.
After decades of searching for the most anxious provoking,the most agressive,the most ugly and shocking objects.
I believe we should give a braketo our minf,or,better still,starting to nourish it with expanding and positive insights.
It's time to realize that the emotions aroused by what we see are imprinted in our memory,are our memory,make what we are.we learn from new scientific findings that we are emotionally bonded to our environment.We unconsciously experience everything we see,our thoughts mirror those of our society.In order to sooth our mind,to makea better future possible,we have to turn to beauty.
Plato told us,a long time ago:"The search for beauty is the proper end of art."
Beauty is a means to a higher Good.It's necessary to relive beauty in our life.
The Empathic response:I wish to arouse with my paintings is one of expansion,beyond time,beyond space,into consciousness.
