Drunken Santa painting by Jaisini The Offiicial Paul Jaisini Site
Drunken Santa is a work that creates a miracle of equilibrium. What seemed like a clash of an opposite spectrum's colors became the unlikely harmony in this painting. Jaisini's artistic vision here is formed from two components of physical and emotional states of being.
Freezing and heating serve as a symbol to a human need for warming up from the chill of solitude by means known to people at all times. The artist pursues his art philosophical quest for worldly knowledge that had left its traces in many of his works. A line of composition literally ignites the painting's surface with the movement. The color of this work is phosphorescent, and it creates the different planes if the subtle color nature. The warm color of purple supports the hot color of Santa's figure and
an exotic fish above Santa. This hot color may represent the so-called material universe, the world of the gross senses that can be observed in a sober state. The cold, arctic blue color represents the unknown, the world of a deep state of drunkenness where real is unreal and otherwise. The only hard reality is the self, which never changes in any state. And maybe that is why Jaisini favors the painting's main hero, Santa, to possess the vivacious color of fire. Jaisini chooses this color of fire to manifest the self and the cold cerulean, cobalt and ultramarine to renounce self as a mortal entity surrounded by the eternal unknown.
While Santa drinks his feelings of frigid loneliness vanish. And so, he gets a company of some almost hallucinatory nature. A shark, a ghostly image, a profile of another prototypical drunk who is not accidentally situated in a horizontal position. An amalgam of the several female figures that consists of a woman in stockings, a nun, and a big-breasted silhouette that creates a shadow between.
A heat can be sensed around the hot colored Santa who has lost his beard and is holding a glass of red wine. He shows his thumb that may be just a polite substitution for the middle finger sign.
The colors of the work are balanced by a virtuoso composition of a cubist character. The picture's space is divided endlessly. More images start to appear. The world of Drunken Santa vitalizes to almost chaotic state. The work is a treasure. It depicts and witnesses the intangible mechanism of reality transformation. In the state of intoxication, what happens to the solid world of sober state? Everything disappears. It is just like the dream world, that we call unreal, because when we are awaken it is not there. Just so the solid world must be unreal because it also vanishes in the drunk or deep-sleep states. Then what is reality? In Drunken Santa, this problem is elaborated to the triumphant conclusion, the simplicity of symbolism of the warm and cold colors. The dazzling composition of figuration superimposed to abstraction. And besides the beauty of artistic logic, Jaisini's works are marked with the rich, magnetic colors, as in Drunken Santa and others, strikingly attractive pictures in their intri
cate game of light and shadow, in their absolute congruence of visual and conceptual.

THE CHAINS OF PASSION
by Rahman, Brigitte Arlette-2000
Published in Nature's Echoes-USA-Library of Congress-isbn:1-58235-564-9
As I watch over you
parading once again an act
meant to inflate each of your words
i am left with no choice.
but to let the false praises
fly gently in the summer breeze
With the sting of the vodoo needle
I burst open the sorry balloons.
From the wrecks in the air
a healing storm of musical notes
releases, in my heart , Mozart
and Jaisini
from the chains of passion
and devotion..
and so I know that our song
shall be sung for all
and it will be heard by all.
