“When the seasons change.
When days come and go to leave their mark on the canvas of memories.
When time marches on, and the capital it leaves behind is creative courage.
When a look is a mood, because every sight is an emotion.
When the expression is larger than the words.
When color is the point where the brain merges with the universe.” (Paul Cézanne).
Then the state of the colors is revealed. And every sensation is a challenge and every mask is a difficult decision. Because everything is possible, but the impossible is what we seek. In this state the colors are chasing to reach themselves and find the pure answers in an imaginary reality.’
(Prof. Dr. Yana Kostadinova)
