Expression , surely Sirano wanted to express something of his feeling about life as he sees it. Visitors seemed to look beyond the nude. Even the taboo's that so many of us felt before, seemed to be forgotten. Maybe we cannot run for president, posing nude, and maybe it is not acquiered to have the higher judge in a nude pose, but come to think about it. Who sets the rules for that? Which boundaries are the ones that lead a healthy society? When it comes to taboo's it is a structure of disfunctional rules, which art will challenge. Some spoke out, 'it is not about nude, it's about art'. 'It isn't even about how good Sirano has photoshopped'. Indeed it is the artist at work, wanting to express his feelings about life by exposing the human body in an enviroment he creates. He paints with pixels. It is typical that the ground poses he uses for the man figures seem to express hidden emotions, man fighting with feelings. When in the air, emotions come in balance, the man is flowing, his legs and arms are much more relaxed. The woman figures, in all poses, are open, and quite comfortable, in touch with nature. The exhibition shows a painter, wanting to be as close to human life as he possible can. And we sensed something more, during this discussion. The challenge of the artist with his own talent and desires, finding his way to express his feelings. Exe is not only about the pictures, or the artistic view which inspired Sirano. It is maybe even more.. a spiritual preperation for more to come, visualized by nude body's in the air, flying above history and voices in rooms, silent figures above the crowd. The 'fighting emotion' figures on the grounds and in the water seem to have only one purpose, to get to higher levels. So does the artist, he prepares us, a first step on a path of more to come.
