UNIVERSUS
DEI
Beyond the tyranny of trivia the human spirit displays itself,
runs towards the ocean of divinity and leaves the boundaries of nationalities.
Once
the cosmic vision is imbedded in his Psyche man multiplies and becomes
mankind. He is not only communion in Church; Torah in the Synagogue;
Mantra beside the Ganges or pilgrimage to Mecca…
Relinked
to its origin man’s behavior becomes public, meditation is
no longer private; prayers are active; contemplative life includes
the others; compassion is transformed into a direct experience;
Psalms turn into bread whose absence makes revolt inevitable.
Religions are
cosmogonic ecosystems separated by subtle differences; delicate veils
or decreasing axioms that, like ethereal theorems exclude us from
total knowledge. These veils cover up the benefits of contemplative
life, revelation, transitoriety and illumination.
Based on the experience of reality, the mystic vision
soothes the conscience and shows us through any of the religious
rituals – the
values and benefits of what is Universal. After that, “divine
perception” is able to create golden rules and moral codes
such as the ten Commandements, Buddha precepts, Mohamed traditions
and Christian merciful deeds. They are all conversions from heaven
to earth: a cartography of the sublime. Marisa Caichiolo tells us
to be aware of the emptiness that covers up or uncovers the body
. A symbol is impossible to erase. From the very beginning of her
painting language, Marisa Caichiolo takes us nearer the cosmic harmony
of religious origin. Her call uncloses, unifies, re-integrates. Dressed
to recover the eternal dance of the syllable, to turn the Psalm into
melodious flesh, to emphasize prayers and their diverse ways. Almost
geographically suggested, color is evocative: the turquoise, brief,
like an inheritance; the red, assured, distributing the weight of
the oxygenation on the garment (Tibetan tchupa); the black of the
purifying solar ashes… the texture is manifest, cosmogonist:
it can be felt in its visual lyricism more than banners, shrouds…more
than a symbolic representation: mantra of mantras, oracle… intricate
contemplations of an ancient world, repaired, and served like a revelation:
there is the vestment, the disembodied habit, now we can observe
the universe in its nakedness…
