Reprise
The object of art is not to reproduce reality, but to create a reality of the same intensity.
Alberto Giacometti
Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.

reality
Easy come and easy go
Reprise
Fast food
Fast love
Fast drink
Fast children
Fast job
Fast money
Fast friends
Fast life
Fast death
Play it again?
Game over.

A gust of wind
Reprise
Do you remember the pink house, up on the hill?
Ask me to meet you there and I will
Do your remember thinking life was a fairytale?
Drawing fishes that looked like whales
Do you remember the blue sea and the golden sand?
We wished those times would never end
Do you remember the scorching sun in the orange sky?
That day, we promised that our love would never die
Do you remember our deepest dreams?
They were blown away by the wind.

Life is a party
Reprise
Life is a party
With fireworks, loud music and colorful balloons
We are both the hosts and the guests.
We dance, we sing, we have fun until the end
Life is party
That takes place in a beautiful stage
We are both the actors and the audience
And everybody knows their own role
Life is a party
Where we are punished for being happy
Others think we are crazy whenever we laugh
Dreams, joy and hope are not welcome
Life is a party
With animals and sad clowns
Nothing is real, but we love the applause
And children are part of it
Life is a party
Where we are all victims and prisoners
Of our fears, our regrets, our mistakes
But we keep trying
Life is a party
Please, wake me up when the fuss is over.

No man’s land
World Refugee Day
Reprise
They spend their lives running away
Escaping war, starvation, floods, diseases
They leave their family and friends behind
No time for tears or goodbyes
We call them foreigners, refugees, migrants
But we tend to forget that we are not so different from us
They are just human beings trying to survive.

I never paint dreams or nightmares. I paint my own reality.
Frida Kahlo
A work of art which did not begin in emotion is not art.

Dreams
Reprise
Take me to the theory land
Because in theory
Everything will to be all right
Don’t wake me up
Not today nor tomorrow
Let me live in the fairytale for a while
I’m not ready for your world yet
I need more time to heal my soul
Wish me good luck
You know where to find me
Between one thing and another
I’ll be living my dreams.

Everything you can imagine is real.

If I could say it in words there would be no reason to paint it.

Spot the differences
Check out the two pictures
Beware of wild creatures!
They look exactly the same, don’t they?
And yet, this is not the case
Take a closer look
Sometimes you need to let go of the hook
And then reality will show its hidden face
Everything is at the right place
Dreams may come true
It only depends on you.
