FILASTINE "Colony Collapse"

     This is a video of one of my favourite bands

    I love listening to their music, a mixture of elegance, class and exotic sounds, not to forget its social and political criticism.

      I hope you enjoy it.

The Temptation of St.Anthony

The Temptation of St.Anthony is a painting derived from a poster to film a competition during the time Dali spent in New York.

In the bottom left hand corner we can see the main character, St.Anthony, kneeling down with a strange position and his right hand raised holding a cross made of small pieces of wood sticks. He seems to be fighting against the strange animals that are crossing the desert with their long very thing legs and their speed hump carryng weird things like a woman,an obelisk or a bulding made of gold. In the middle of the picture, we can notice two people arguing and more inmersed in the background a man walking with a boy. In the top right hand corner there is a palace hidden behind a black clouds pile.

In a deeper description, trying to find the real meaning of all the elements in the picture, I have found some critics who claim that the artist`s mental health problems had complicated by the time,so that  the painting is a peculiar remedy against demons.

The main character, depicted by Dali, is frigtened by the mounting horse that symbolizes power, standing on legs as thin as gossamer defies the laws of gravity.The Saint tries not to be seduced by the earthly temptations, symbolized by the horse and the elephants representing the future and also the strengh. They are carryng symbols of power and spiritual order and some erotic characters like the nude woman that emphasizes the erotic character of the composition.
