Francisco de Zurbarán
Oil on canvas
In the solitude of a dimly lit stone cell, Francis is at once physically before us and spiritually elsewhere. Absorbed in meditation, he cradles a skull in his hands. Beneath the hood of his Capuchin habit his barely discernible eyes are turned heavenwards. The tattered, patched-up garment is the embodiment of the Franciscan ideals of poverty and humility. A more essential representation of Francis is hard to imagine. Zurbarán made the painting in Seville.*
From the exhibition
Saint Francis of Assisi
(May – July 2023)
Presenting the art and imagery of Saint Francis (1182–1226) from the 13th century to today, this exhibition looks at why this saint is a figure of enormous relevance to our time due to his spiritual radicalism, commitment to the poor, and love of God and nature, as well as his powerful appeals for peace, and openness to dialogue with other religions.
From some of the earliest medieval panels, relics and manuscripts to modern-day films and a Marvel comic, the exhibition shines a light on how Saint Francis has captured the imagination of artists through the centuries, and how his appeal has transcended generations, continents and different religious traditions.
It brings together paintings from the National Gallery Collection by Sassetta, Botticelli, and Zurbarán with international loans including works by Caravaggio, Josefa de Óbidos, Stanley Spencer, Antony Gormley, Giuseppe Penone, Andrea Büttner, and an exciting new commission from Richard Long.

All of us know that trees keep growing taller throughout its life.
But there is something else that grows with it - its root.
As a tree grows taller and taller and taller, its root goes deeper and deeper and deeper into the soil, gripping it harder so that the tree doesn't uproot when hit by the strong winds blowing higher up in the sky.
So, got the message? The more successful you are in life, the more grounded your feet should be, for, otherwise you will get shipwrecked by the lightest of winds blowing at your height.
THIS IS MY THEORY, FOLKS. THE FATEFUL FIVE FINGERS OF PURPOSE. IT'S BIGGER THAN MUSIC THEORY-IT'S ORIGIN: THE THUMB, JAPANESE FOR "HUMILITY"; THE POINTER, "DIRECTION"; THE MIDDLE "BEHAVIOR" OR "ATTITUDE"; THE RING FINGER, "DEVOTION"; AND THE PINKY, "RESOLUTION". THE THEORY OF GO!

N.B. Il s'agit ici d'un exercice qui ne peut porter vraiment le nom d'icône car 1) au niveau du support, l'image est surélevée et non en creux (cliquer ci-contre pour voir l'original en gros plan) 2) il n'y a pas de cadre large 3) et, enfin, le nimbe et la tête sont tronqués. En dépit de ces irrégularités, et au même titre que le Christ à l'oeil rieur (cf. www.flickr.com/photos/121479702@N04/13831481124/), ce visage est l'un de mes préférés parmi tous les visages iconiques que j'ai écrits à ce jour.

La Agenda Social Andina debe estar centrada en políticas y acciones públicas sanitarias, lo cual implica desde acciones correctivas, prevención sanitaria extendiéndose y enraizándose con la seguridad social y los servicios comunitarios sociales como son la atención a niños y niñas, ancianos y ancianas. Por eso los países están urgidos de reformas necesarias para implementar estos programas. Las políticas públicas sociales deberán estar orientadas hacia la reducción de la precariedad y la pobreza, así en el Acta de Carabobo se concretizan a través de la firma del Protocolo Simón Rodríguez, una vocación de concertar políticas laborales flexibles para que el mercado del trabajo se amplíe con la capacitación y actualización laboral para ello habrá que concertar con el sector privado políticas en el campo de los servicios públicos centrados en salud, vivienda y educación que beneficien el desarrollo sustentable de la sociedad civil, a través de la familia y dentro de ella la protección social de la mujer, niños y niñas, ancianos y ancianas, y de los jóvenes que podrán emanciparse más pronto cuando a la par que se preparan pueden ingresar al mercado de trabajo.
Philippians 2:5–9 says, “Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross. Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name.”
When Jesus humbled Himself in the last unequaled step of humility and love by dying on the cross, Scripture says that, “Therefore, God also has highly exalted Him.” Love and humility is the road that leads us to unity and oneness, and it is the same road Christ walked while on this earth. When we see Him and the extent of His love and humility, choosing the low road, we begin to understand the power of humbling ourselves before our brothers and sisters, just as Jesus did. Consider the words written by the prophet Isaiah about our Lord, the Lamb of God:
He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, and familiar with suffering. Like one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not. We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed and afflicted, yet he did not open his mouth; he was led like a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is silent, so he did not open his mouth (Isaiah 53:3, 6–7, NIV, emphasis mine).

| About
“A saint is a person who practices the keystone human virtue of humility. Humility in the face of wealth and plenty, humility in the face of hatred and violence, humility in the face of strength, humilty in the face of your own genius or lack of it, humility in the face of another’s humility, humility in the face of love and beauty, humility in the face of pain and death. Saints are driven to humbling themselves before all splendor and horror of the world because they perceive there to be something divine in it, something pulsing and alive beneath the hard dead surface of material things, something inconceivably greater and purer than they.”
— Tony Hendra, Father Joe, The Man Who Saved My Soul (Random House, New York, 2004) Taken from the Prologue.
In September 2013, I was given the opportunity to shoot for a non-profit organisation called e.motion21. This is an organisation that provide an Australia-first, innovative dance and fitness program designed specifically for children and young adults with Down Syndrome.
This is a series of their rehearsal leading up to a dance event called Musicool. It was an eye opening experience having to shoot this event as I had never shot a subject matter relating to Down Syndrome prior to this. The most essential thing that I realised was that these kids and young adults are no different from what society deems as 'normal'. Everyone experiences struggles and it is the passion that keeps us going. For them, the unity through dance is the core of their passion and joy.

“What do the Stoics say? Humility is a driving force of Stoicism, because without it our ability to learn, adapt and build relationships is undermined by pride” -- Annie Lawson
From Stoic at Work: Ancient wisdom to make your job a bit less annoying which is “a sharply observed workplace survival guide that spins 49 entertaining modern rules from the wisdom of Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius.” www.worldcat.org/oclc/1397032572
Stoicism is a school of Hellenistic philosophy that flourished in Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome. The Stoics believed that the practice of virtue is enough to achieve eudaimonia: a well-lived life. The Stoics identified the path to achieving it with a life spent practicing the four virtues in everyday life: wisdom, courage, temperance or moderation, and justice, and living in accordance with nature. It was founded in the ancient Agora of Athens by Zeno of Citium around 300 BC. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stoicism
