Many people want to understand the true circumstances of existence. Referring to Plato and Descartes, however, I think that this is only possible if the system in which we exist allows it.

Plato, an ancient Greek philosopher (428–347 BC), is known for his allegory of the cave, in which people are chained in a cave and can only perceive shadows instead of reality. Similarly, we humans are trapped in the apparent reality of the world and cannot recognize the true nature of things.

Nothingness can be viewed from two perspectives: From a pessimistic point of view, it is simply nothingness, from which nothing can arise. From an optimistic point of view, nothingness contains no limitations, is completely undefined, and therefore holds the potential for any kind of existence.

An experiment. Not sure it is entirely successful, but sometimes it's fun to just fool around to no particular purpose 🤷🏻‍♂️

René Descartes (1596-1650), a French philosopher and mathematician, was convinced that only what one thinks can be considered real, everything else was speculation. The famous phrase "Cogito, ergo sum," "I think, therefore I am," is attributed to him.

Gorgias of Leontinoi, a philosopher of ancient Greece, lived roughly between 490 and 396 BC and put forward three radical theses: 1) Nothing exists. 2) If something existed, it would be unknowable. 3) Even if something existed and it were knowable, we could not communicate it to anyone else.

What fresh hell is this?

Sketch for a work in progress 😅

Even Hegel assumed that pure being cannot be distinguished from pure nothingness because both were completely undetermined.

i’ve been working on a series of 5 paintings. this is not one. It was one of the wipe-off-the-palette-knife ones, and as usual it become its own piece.

All existence is presumably merely a form of information. If you layer all information simultaneously, no concrete information can be discerned. That would then be equivalent to nothingness.

The banker's trick: make money out of nothing and sell it for even more money.

More dragon mutations in the works 👁️

Could you imagine that everything and nothing is probably the same ?
