Esotericism seduction games. Can acrylic paintings be tools for self improvement? “Esotericism seduction games” shows how it is possible to use acrylic art for self improvement. Renaissance paintings and, more generally, antique paintings had often a deeper, secret meaning. Even world famous paintings, as Da Vinci’s Last Supper are full of symbolism. But the keys to understanding those symbols are lost. Since I like Renaissance paintings and their symbolism, I paint often what I call esoteric acrylic paintings, where the word esoteric means only that there is a deeper meaning, something that can be used for self improvement.Self improvement (or self development) can be got by achieving a higher degree of self consciousness. That means, we should understand what we are doing. Through the following acrylic paintings I will describe what happens in seduction games. These games are frequently played and very often are confused with true love. An image (an acrylic painting) that represents a game is easier to remember than a scheme of reasoning and can alert us when necessary.

Driven by Unawareness

This acrylic painting shows a man that dances careless, enticed by the smell of a mate. He behaves as a butterfly that, attracted by a resplendent flower, overlooks the spider’s web. He doesn’t follow his instinct, but his desire. He is so taken up with his hunting adventure that, when he gets caught and becomes finally aware of the spider presence, he gets amazed by it. He is then so irresponsible that he goes on dancing, even if he is entangled in the spider’s web. This way he gets entangled more and more.

The Plotting Woman

She puts into her cobweb all fascination she has and waits. Even if her plots are subtle, the instincts that drive her are brutal. She feels confident, because she doesn’t weave to get pleasure, but to follow her intent and this intent will cause her prey to come to her. The more seductive the game, the more wicked is the trap. And the trap is set to touch certain chords…

A Game Among Forces

The veil is fallen. It’s time to come out of shadows. The power game starts. Cards are put on the table and the struggle begins!
In many cases love lasts only until the hook up happens. Then, in the married couple, this all becomes a problem of balance.
There is often a direct transmission, from mother to daughter, of the instinct to control and of means to weave the proper cobweb. When a man is caught, the game becomes hard. It is a game among forces. It drains energy and, with energy, possibilities to self improvement.

Power And Seduction Games

Desires, set of three paintings, each 32” x 48” (cm. 80 x 120), 2008

Emotions, that attract us and to which we react, travel along the threads of the telepathic cobweb. This cobweb acts as a trap but at the same time connect us all.
If a hunter sets a trap, which animal will be caught? Which animal will follow its instinct? Which one will instead follow the smelling track of the hunter? One of both will avoid the danger.
To ignore our instinct and follow our desires means ignoring reality. This can put us into danger (as these acrylic paintings show).

Sometimes we act as children. Trying to catch the moon we lean too much out of the balcony. We give up happiness and self improvement and we believe we have a right to them. Therefore, we feel victims of every situation. We look for happiness in difficult circumstances. We yield to enticements and promises. We struggle and try to bind others to us to get it and we are amazed when everything, sooner or later, slips from our hands.

If we get upset when looking at these esoteric acrylic paintings, it means we don’t want to look at ourselves in the mirror. Self improvement is a hard task but,only if we become aware of the threads, we are able to master the cobweb.
