Giora Carmi
The painting goes with a poem: FOREVER PRESENT The hills and the forests Make a sea turtle That swims To nowhere Soft snow Touches all But cannot make The world cold A little piece of sky Smiles To say Don't worry Your body and your earth Are swimming still They are the world Of time and things But you are No name Who is Forever present. I paint by following my sense of beauty alone, with no thinking. Then I read it with words that many times become poems. The process reveals the contents of my mind at the moment. the emphasis on seeing the beauty in it , changes this content from struggle and fear to joy. I don't have good enough words to describe it.
