The greatest achievement of a creative person

The thing I admire most about Dalí is his ability to create his own universe. Not many artists reached that. 

Not easy. Even if you define the aesthetic, colours, elements, symbology and atmosphere, which is already remarcable, the universe needs be filled with high quality life and essence. It's an extremely high goal, with many side paths leading to nowhere. When you are in the right road and you know it without any doubt, the hype has not equal. Just the process is gratifying. The final result is quite unknown since it waits far under the horizon line.

Recently I discovered the intensity of Katsuhiro Otomo's former works. Another example of real world building. I mean "real", not real. But this is for another day.

Mi TOP 5 de libros más importantes e influyentes

Comenzando desde arriba, una lista de los cinco libros más importantes e influyentes de mi biblioteca:
  • Writing & Illuminating & Lettering. Edward Johston. La madre de la caligrafía moderna y el arte de escribir.
  • El Quijote. Miguel de Cervantes. Mi número uno sin duda alguna. Es "el libro" y habla de todos los temas de la vida.
  • I Ching. Version de Richard Wihlem. Posiblemente el primer texto que conserva la Humanidad y engloba todo la sabiduría oriental.
  • Illustrated Works of Lewis Carroll. Cuentos, poemas, acertijos matemáticos y fantásticas ilustraciones.
  • Dalí, la obra pictórica. Recopilación de la vasta obra generada por el genio.
