"The Dreamers" -directed by Bernardo Bertolucci

There should be a reason for my fascination for “The Dreamers”. It might be the living against society’s stubborn rules and fake expectations. The moral behind the immoral. The choice of staying true to yourself, to your passions and desires, which I consider to be the most important decision we should take. There is no blame for the truthfulness in one’s heart.

I am not discussing the religious or spiritual perspective, this is not my objective.

It is the purity and innocence, the seductive spirit and decadent moments that make this movie memorable.  I am captivated by the beauty of an unique universe, where humans are allowed to be humans.

Because homo sum et nihil humani a me alienum puto...

Tanya Coolinich - Beauty versus Art

I like the representation of woman as a sublime creation of nature. Though the Romanticism and Renaissance period are long gone, sometimes we need to approach the idea of Human as an ideal. The perfection beyond all our imperfections. It is a miracle to look back at our development, at our evolution, at all things the mankind succeeded at during the centuries.
And the most amazing thing is that we can operate this change starting with ourselves. We can be whatever we want to be -with a bit of determination and with the understanding that a long journey is composed by many little and precise steps.
There is no important goal to be achieved without significant effort. There is no musician playing guitar in the crazy way of Rodrigo & Gabriela, no ballerina performing main role in "Nutcraker" without thousands of hours spent studying, trying, failing, trying again, trying again. It is indeed just a matter of investment: your soul, your time, your dreams.
This post is dedicated to the miraculous energy that lies in us, the one that drives us to the top and makes us art. We are art.
So start fighting for your dreams, today is just the perfect day, don't procrastinate and -the most important- believe in your uniqueness.
You can be whatever you want to be, you have it in you.

Le Rêve

Just believing that feminine outer beauty should definitely be built on a captivating personality.

I truly value and admire grace, seductive spirit, positive attitude, optimism, humor, think-before-speaking behavior (obviously, not successfully on a daily basis :) ) and –essentially!- intelligence polished by continuous learning and education.

All of these mixed up with a permanent research on art, as I am SO passionate about literature and- then- also music, painting, photography, wines, tea, travelling - all things of beauty.

This is my world.
