Since I was very young, I have always been fascinated by Leonardo Da Vinci. (1452 -1519).
We used to study about him since we were in the elementary school ..... There was so much attraction to this genius that was left handed and used to write backwards ... So much mystery around his astonishing works ... around this Man that had a strong empathy with birds ...........
When I was living in Florence, I often used to visit Vinci, the little town where he was born.
We study many of his paintings ......
Today ... let's read some of his words and be pierced from his understanding ..........
Human subtlety will never devise an invention more beautiful, more simple or more direct than does nature, because in her inventions nothing is lacking, and nothing is superfluous.
For once you have tasted flight you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skywards, for there you have been and there you will long to return.
Painting is poetry that is seen rather than felt, and poetry is painting that is felt rather than seen.
A painter should begin every canvas with a wash of black, because all things in nature are dark except where exposed by the light.
Where the spirit does not work with the hand, there is no art.
Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.
In rivers, the water that you touch is the last of what has passed and the first of that which comes; so with present time.
The noblest pleasure is the joy of understanding.
The greatest deception men suffer is from their own opinions.
The truth of things is the chief nutriment of superior intellects.
While I thought that I was learning how to live, I have been learning how to die.
