"And surfing among the paintings, occasionally deviated by the venom of the intellect, which we were taught to use always, even in the feelings ... I understand that it has a taste, perhaps, a taste of recent and ancient surrealistic paintings. I smell of Hieronymus Bosch, without any scientific certainty, "feel" the sick surrealists of Freudianism, and then get seduced by a masquerade of colors, which destabilizes, because it dwindles into nothing in the present, which you’ve just left outside of the art gallery. It’s another world, a new world, more sensed than our haste, where the noise obeys and disappears at the order, and in the silence of our steps becomes the music of intuition. I feel it is a truth that I share, but I have never been able to fully explain it. I "feel" that you "feel" like you have to "feel" the life, and this verb, which I use and which is not sufficent, wouldn’t represent, and can’t represent whatever an inner organ perceives, an organ not making part of the five senses. It is a language, created for the practical life, but which does not know yet how to express itself. So, I immerge not only in the language, but in the painting as well, and feel that it can be satiated and satiate with sensibility, as rarely happens". Werner Bertolotti
