'Allow me to be frank at the commencement. You will not like me.' I like playing the piano even if my talent is questionable. I write and read a lot, but in a slow and annoying manner. I do it though, because it is essential. 'Je pense donc j'existe.' I do hate perfection, so as a sequel, I am a perfectionist. I never get bored. I smoke waterpipe, although I hate cigarettes. I am in the mood sometimes to take pictures, but I think adjusting them afterwards is just stupid. I love art however I manifest no artistic talent whatsoever. I am a mood-shifter, but they say I'm not bipolar. 'My mother had me tested'. I read and I watch movies. A lot. Some might say obsessively. I respect laziness and I am hosting it since I was born. I am monarch of all I survey [W. Cowper]. Politics is colloquial and disgusting. History teaches that. I rarely like to talk, but when I do, I have something of importance to say.'I don't mean to upset people, but I must speak my mind; for what's in my mind is far more interesting than what's outside my mind.' I am currently being an enigma to myself. I am a living paradox.

 

Happy Birthday, Daphne du Maurier (13th May 1907 - 19th April 1989)

“Eccellente pittore” mi sembra definizione finanche riduttiva, per colui che da trent’anni è un vertice assoluto della pittura italiana. Marco Tirelli, Senza titolo (cod. P206). Inchiostro e tempera acrilica su tela, 200x166 cm, 2011. Foto Martino Tirelli.
