About this artwork
Cornelia made this acrylic painting in order to play with the concept of emptiness.
Rather than expressing statements, perhaps it would be preferable to reason by questions.
Is a blank pages book really devoid of stories to tell?
Is the emptiness really such, or is it nothing more than a potential being? Or the condition for the being to be manifest? Or still, the very manifestation of the being through its absence?
Can different emptiness qualities… and degrees exist and co-exist?
Personally, if Cornelia has to express herself and preferring an existential approach, she believes that emptiness is an essential condition from which to start and in which we have to learn how to return. We empty our mind so that we can fill our soul.
Let me close with a haiku by Tagami Kikusha, a Japanese poetess (1752-1826)
To immerse ourselves in the spring waters of the being, we must first undress of all the dirty clothes of our ego.
