I just ended yesterday the 5th step of the Art of Freestyle, but here is a quick post about the 4th.
AUTORETRATO, FUMANDO EN MEXICO. 70x50cm. 250g paper. 2014
While in Mexico, I had to stay home sick, and because of the sickness, I experimented some feeling of distortion of time and space…nothing like pink elephants in the sky, but a smooth confusion, or alteration.
Freestyling, Jazz… to me, is the best way to instantly blend the Mind, the Body, and The Soul. Connecting to Consciousness. Perceiving the ocean while surfing the wave.
It is when randomness meets destiny. I mean, when you feel the structure rather than you pretend to know it. When you allow yourself to play with it in order to, consciously or not, make it evolve. It is when The Here is The Now, and not the “how?”. Flowing from the past to the future, always being The Present.
I believe that any creation comes from the ability and choice of someone to be available.

One specific point I do enjoy about being in the state of “Freestyle” is the stimulation due to the everlasting process.
And the result ! The result is always True. More real than any other instant, since somehow, its all the instants at once….This result, when recorded, always shows Who the Creator is. Each time I freestyle on a paper, I draw the Now, or the desire of the Now, which somehow is the future, but still is the Now. And if I like or not, I do always recognize my self in.
