"Extemporal
I believe! In the rule that directs the sentiment”, said Georges Braque at the beginning of his road. Willing or not, almost every creator starts to define himself by such a thought. Of course that “believe" has many faces; from the show with a flavour of a performance given by the pharisees in front of churches and the fear of praying of some who do not have the courage to make the magic sign not even in the darkness of their room. In the this case, Samir makes it with reconciliation, his gesture should mimic the shape of the scaffold on which was nailed “The Unique”, transforming itself into calculated brush strokes on canvas. The brush seems to be a continuation of the capillaries which/that bleed colour. For us, painters, this it means to have talent, faith and dedication.
He thinks and feels a lot. Maybe too much, sometimes the image remaining in a previsionary space, as a window between the soul and the world. Yet the truth is right here in the present. The painting of Samir is the present itself, the boundary between past and future, the moment that is the most unstable and fascinating alike.
Little by little, Samir is becoming mature, is being fulfilled, from the so much behaved and fair pupil, almost transparent in the studying studio/workshop at school, to the one who is now, with interest and care toward(s?) the surrounding world, with restlessness over the personal or universal destiny, with child and family ... and with work experience behind also. Already, I can see-foresee how over the years, future students (behaved or troublesome) will greet him with: Good day, Master!
In the secrets and the details of the painting made by Samir I will not enter because as a pedagogue I think this has intimate value, sacred, as well as what you discuss in a confessional and remains ... silence of the grave.
I think that there will not be many years until Samir will come to close the circle of life and soul experiences, reaching reconciliation of his made deeds and rustling with his thought at the early years. Definitely he will affirm as to the same Georges Braque to his senescence: "I believe in the sentiment that corrects the rule”. This requires work, faith and love.
Samir knows what follows."
