Alphabet of Isms in Philosophy with one side
representing the + and the other - we always
swing the pendulum in one direction or the other,
Oil and Acrylic on Paper (2019)
• The mosaic comprised of 44 + 1 pieces divided in 2 times 22 represents an alphabet of concepts,
philosophies and ideas. They are directly inspired by Chinese characters, the fact that the mind in here has to
work differently, much more visually represented compared to the languages used in the western world that
are relying on sounds and concepts. I often wonder is more less or less is more. Our global trajectory as a
part of the species on this planet seems to be that more is less when organized in a concise way, when the
test of time puts a final test on the combinatorics of genetics. This alphabet is the combinatorics of
philosophical ideas and concepts that impressed me throughout life and as they are presented in two colors,
one set of 22 is a matter and another set is the antimatter, we are constantly alternating throughout our life
between the two, extinguishing part of parts in the process. One drawing that is separate, represents the
Stoicism and my fascination with futurism, standing still while the time moves.
