“The other must be his wife”, I thought, because Paul called her with some pet name's asking for a bottle of wine, for a book, or an ash tray.

“Is she your wife? “ I asked just in case.

Paul looked me in the eyes and said: “She is not my wife, nor the mother of my daughter, she is my secretary. “

The secretary I sensed didn’t like me much.

She didn’t call Jaisini by his name, Paul, but she instead addressed him as

mister Jaisini. She seemed obsequious and perhaps didn’t like me for my unrestrained manner and direct questions. She said to Paul: “You should not waste your time on this interview. You need to return to your work. “

Paul said: “It will be few minutes." and spent a few hours with me. A self-ruling man.

Paul didn’t drink any wine but he behaved at times extravagantly, showing the

outlines of the silhouettes in his paintings and explaining what was happening in the pictures.

Paul said that the point of his art being hidden from the public is an

intrigue that engages press in constant attempts to uncover the ‘truth’ behind it all. Nevertheless it is very disappointing, that people don’t care about real art, as they do about private affairs.

We went upstairs and in a spacious hall I saw a large painting. I didn’t hide my

awe.

“Wow! Where did you get such a big piece of canvas? The art stores don’t sell

this linen in such sizes. “

“It is stitched together from pieces," answered Paul.

“How did you reach the upper parts of the painting"

"I climbed the riser. Do you see the nude black man up there, tangled with a

serpent?"

"It reminds me of Laocoön. Is it intentional?"

"No, he is a symbol of physical grace without intellect. Do you see a group of

female bodies intertwined in a threesome?"

"No, I don’t see it. Where is the threesome?"

"To the left, look there."

"I look there."

"There the three figures, here is one, here is another one and the third one."

"Third is not a female figure, it’s some animal."

"It’s a female, but there is an animal, a bit higher up. The clown in the center

tears his mouth in a bloody smile, carrying out his role of a fool, laughing when

he wants to cry."

"Is that a monkey?"

"You got it, she is another symbol of the fate, she stopped hitting the tom-tom,

her direct purpose in circus. When she stopped to play and started to think, she

realized that her life is pitiful and she wants to kill herself. It’s a second

symbol of the same meaning."

"Tell me about that threesome again."

"Well, they show the natural grace, as three graces would, the sensual concept of

procreation."

"This picture must be a depiction of a circus performance, I suppose. Is it ?

Why it is so dynamic?"

"It is a circus performance but is the personal trial of human character. The ball construction is an object: -Paulsen’s ball, it is also a title of the painting."

"This ball creates some weight and it seems to move the composition with it’s

size and position and it seems to be on a verge of rolling down."

"You’re right! I also sense this immediate impulse to prevent the clown to fall

off that ball.

We went to other paintings, whole series of paintings.

When I gathered all my sensations about the art that surrounded me, it was time to leave. Paul Jaisini escorted me to the door. I shook his hand saying:

"You are an interesting man"

"I am not a man..."
