El mar embravecido al que me ha hecho viajar esta obra de Gertrude, a pesar del equilibrio monocorde de la primera mirada de su obra, da ganas de subir esas escaleras como última acción terrenal que quiero realizar, partiendo a esa nube, o a esa luna, abandonando el mundanal ruido que nos ha tocado vivir. Ver desde arriba, no sin mucha tristeza por los cariños que dejas abajo, da una perspectiva cercana a la visión de Dios con su máximo exponente de poder.
Es una noche agradable, como he dicho antes, sin estrellas ni viento, donde yo, como ser humano normal, miro desde mi posición terrenal sin jugar a ser Dios, después de despertarme del letargo que me ha hecho soñar, sumido en un sueño filosóficamente reparador.
This painting by Gertrude Abercrombie brings me an inner peace that comes from its strange balance. It's the image of a night without stars, and I would even venture to say, without wind. Just a waning moon and a solitary cumulus cloud above a carefully arranged stage, where some abandoned stairs make me wonder: am I on a theater stage, in an opera scene, or in a dream I don't want to wake up from?
"Don't let anyone wake me up!" I would yell from a room at the far end of an infinite hallway in one of those old houses. I want to keep dreaming (looking at) this painting that torments me because, in a way, it forces me to reflect on... who knows what!
The stormy sea this work by Gertrude has made me travel to, despite the monotonous balance of the painting's first glance, makes me want to climb those stairs as the last earthly action I want to perform, heading to that cloud, or that moon, leaving behind the worldly noise we've had to live with. Seeing things from above, not without a lot of sadness for the loved ones you leave behind, provides a perspective close to the vision of God with his ultimate power.
It's a pleasant night, as I said before, without stars or wind, where I, as a normal human being, look from my earthly position without trying to be God, after waking up from the slumber that made me dream, immersed in a philosophically restorative dream.
