Black is the absence of visual perception. It does not reflect, emit, transmit or receive. Black does not exist in nature.
White is the achromatic perception of maximum brightness and luminosity. White does not exist in nature either.
It is perhaps an impossible and wishful undertaking to have the contemporary art of our land judged and/or appreciated outside the preconceived notion and prevalent world public opinions. Does the world really need contrasts to create a distinguishable reality?
As a Nation we are neither black nor white. We like to be viewed away from the a priori clichés of right and wrong, and the prefixed notions of good and bad. In other words, we like to be seen as we are, in our diversity and complexity.
