The Art of Waiting
The waiting is the act of letting things come to fruition. What the word "waiting" indicates is the ability to be relaxed, to observe things, to be still and allow the universe to flow as it wills, with its own rhythm and its own way. Waiting is essential in life, in any circumstance and in all fields of knowledge and activities. Almost every painters have captured the act of waiting. The painter doesn't just 'wait'; he is able to observe his or her own painting in its creation, its various stages, and the entire period of its development.
In this series artwork here introduced, simply named “Woman waiting”, a woman is waiting at the window. She seems to be lost in her thoughts, or in her own thoughts. In this painting, we can feel the sense of patience and resignation, that is, the ability to sit still without acting and waiting in silence and to let things flow as they wish. This type of waiting has been used extensively by artists for many years, and it was probably the reason why some of the greatest artists of the modern era have chosen to engage with this theme. It implies that every creative act consists in waiting for something.
All creative acts consist in waiting, so we may say that waiting in art, as in everything, is a reflection of the essence of reality. Because life is an act of waiting, any artistic creation about waiting must have a particular "objectivity." Waiting in the Arts shows that there is no future and no past, there is only now. It is the painting in motion.
When confronted with a beautiful landscape, like a sunset or a beautiful flower, an artist will probably wait before capturing the image. When a painter observes a scene in the natural world, his or her mind will probably turn to the thought of the nature of the scene and contemplate the scene within his or her own mind; the scene will then form within his or her mind. Before we paint the scene, the mind must first capture it. The present is shown, but the painting captures a moment that happened in the past.
That is probably why all those weman seems to be completely still in a state of suspension, which gives this image a sense of tranquility resonating with every human beings suspended in his core activity essential to life : waiting.
