What Inspires Myrtha Hall?

Why speak? I would say more externalized by circles, circles that are a sarabande happy or sad, interlacing, is juxtaposed with the putting on of variegated colors.

The circles form a series set at a particular time. Sometimes, certain similarities between them in contrast to the subtle differences that contrast without interfering with their harmony. Having become oval expands to contribute to their linear equilibrium in the expression of the subject.

The predominance of some related warm colors or contrasting light on a single canvas triggers such vitality in the area that he who sees, without looking in depth would not be free of vertigo if he did not have time to analyze them in their creative acuity.

Why this tangle of circles to give the name of art is a show that rather than thinking about their meaning rather than their intrinsic beauty.

The concept of the circle is everywhere in our path. The visible and invisible, from concrete to abstract, from conscious to unconscious.

With a single line, this concept leads us to a questioning of many subjects that otherwise would be dissipated over time and ultimately remain unanswered. In short, we discover a great diversity in expression that revitalizes the heart of a special inspiration.

The first giant circle that we anticipate moving from the real world than the imaginary Here, we view them in our dreams a heterogeneous society, where everyone would be held by hand and form a large circle that curled Peace, Love, Friendship, Understanding to achieve a happy humanity, stripped of hatred, smoothly, and selfishness. What about the rings of joy, tenderness, affection, which lubricate the junction.

The visible and invisible, see the fetal position in the circular belly of a pregnant woman who later will the image of a circle in the visible expression of the curved back of the very old man, which, by the weight of years, resembles more of her womb, the earth, whence it comes.

Do not forget especially those invisible curves of our lives that determine the ups and downs of our existence. It forces us to marry.

If we move towards the concrete curve at the equator of our planet, we skirt the horizon in the sky to the rainbow sky to bring a bit like the moon, sun, planets and other stars that revolve around ... We should never finish.

We also forget the abstract curve using chain linking all those who share the same feeling the same ideological cause, religion and others.

Descend a little below our level. What happens to these tiny graceful curves so well expressed by a cherry, a blueberry, an eye, a small rock, a hailstone, a drop of water? Finally, we find in the three kingdoms and beyond them.

Certainly, we are inundated with intelligent circles. As we interpret them through our creativity so that by stressing they are evidence of their existence that surrounds ours.
