Always more attracted to buildings, even on canvases... I can't help it.

O jardim

"O nosso jardim era grande e belo como aquele jardim da Bíblia. Ali crescia a árvore da vida. Mas tinha-se tornado selvagem. Os carreiros tinham sido invadidos pela vegetação e um odor de flores mortas misturava-se com o vivo perfume fresco."

Jean Rhys, "Vasto Mar de Sargaços"; pintura de Henri Rousseau.

Henri Rousseau “The Equatorial Jungle” 1909

Henri Julien Félix Rousseau (21 May 1844 – 2 September 1910) was a French post-impressionist painter in the Naïve or Primitive manner.

He was also known as Le Douanier (the customs officer), a humorous description of his occupation as a toll and tax collector.

He started painting seriously in his early forties; by age 49, he retired from his job to work on his art full-time. A true testament that it is never too late to do what you love and are good at.

Rousseau claimed he had “no teacher other than nature”, and his best-known paintings depict jungle scenes, even though he never left France or saw a jungle.

 It is obvious that abstract systems of exploitation and domination are human creations, brought into being and refined through the diversion or co-optation of creativity. The only forms of creativity that authority can deal with, or wished to deal with, are those which the spectacle can recuperate. But what people do officially is nothing compared with what they do in secret. People usually associate creativity with works of art, but what are works of art alongside the creative energy displayed by everyone a thousand times a day: seething unsatisfied desires, daydreams in search of a foothold in reality, feelings at once confused and luminously clear, ideas and gestures presaging nameless upheavals. All this energy, of course, is relegated to anonymity and deprived of adequate means of expression, imprisoned by survival and obliged to find outlets by sacrificing its qualitative richness and conforming to the spectacle's categories. Think of Cheval's palace, the Watts Towers, Fourier's inspired system, or the pictorial universe of Douanier Rousseau. Even more to the point, consider the incredible diversity of anyone's dreams ─ landscapes the brilliance of whose colors qualitatively surpass the finest canvases of a Van Gogh. Every individual is constantly building an ideal world within themselves, even as their external motions bend to the requirements of soulless routine.
