I'm really impressed about this article. You start with Plato and make a 'bridge' to todays world of imagination and fantasy in gaming.
Don't we all sometimes want to escape 'our world'? In gaming, movies, books, meditation......
It becomes questionable (in my believe) when people escape a lot from their world and sometimes live in the real world.

Nice summary 😃
Thank you x 2 (vote and reply) ;-)
yes...marionsworld....how very true...I myself at 70, am painting a "fantasy world" that I can put all of my creative and religious and philosophical thoughts into....my art theory world is also given a place to speak in this immersion into "Sebastianism Revisited". As I have deliberately sought a hermitage in the middle of Portugal, away from all the "art-babble" of highstreet....I have found it easier to "hear" my inner voice and concentrate on how to communicate it....yes....a very interesting article.![(J) 1 de novembro.jpg]
sebastian goes to his fathers grave on all saints day to seek advice......he is assailed by african wasps, so his father calls on Nature and Jesus , who sends a european bee-eater who begins eating the wasps....

I'm sorry, but I'm not familiar with the story of Sebastian. I did google on it, but i still don't know exactly what you mean by Sebastianism Revisited.
The first question that came into my mind, before I googled ;-) , On what question did he need advice and why is he assailed by african wasps?
Where are you originally come from? Also from Portugal ?
I think it's brafe to get out of your comfortzone and move to a place to become closer to yourself and your feelings.
Your painting is really beautifull ! Eventhough I don't fully understand the meaning.
