    About this ebook

    The drunkenness of colors, traits and forms, has given rise to urban and alternative lifestyles, always in motion, and likely to be renewed. When she combines with the beauty of an iconoclastic and sober improvisation, she embellishes our vision of the sacred, in an unexpected way. The word 'Dervish' is a Persian word. It expresses the idea of a life that is based on humility, and on a blossomed interiority, in hatching.

    It is from this angle that, AKA Louis, proposes to us his second major opus of colorful sketches and paintings, giving us a glimpse of what can be a positive life, drawn with perseverence, in response of great difficulties of life, face to exclusion, stigma, and margin.

    It is by making the difference, an originality, that one come out of the flawed trap of the urban and modern world, that one finds, slowly but surely his path to light and peace.

    With the help of liners, alcohol felt pens and Indian Ink, watercolor soluble inks, and colorex, AKA Louis, proposes with 'Dervish/es', more than 63 color sketches, approaching, the multiple facets of existence, under the mode of an inner and ambitious voyage. The book also contains 7 poetic texts from the author, around the revisited theme of Dervishism, and Drunkenness. A very nice book to obtain urgently. Satisfaction garantee.

      Dervishism

      X Drunkenness

      The word Dervish is of Persian origin. It indicates a Way of Life based on Humility, Retreat and Perseverance, forming the Temperament. ‘The Threshold of the Door’ is one of the literal meaning given to that word. The most famous sense is that of ‘Poor’ and ‘Poverty’...

      If Wine is the supreme knowledge, the Drunkard is a Master of the Real.

      The Dervish is an Original who has found Refuge in the Margin... He no longer cares about the world as it appears, but as he lives it... He ignores theories and drinks the Wine of Pure Love... providing a Fraternal Light without false shame, and full of Kindness of what is Humble... and achievable... The Sacred is not anything other than the value of a life lived tenderly, really, with passion and intensity, measure and prudence, authenticity and prude realism... True Piety brings together the means that one gives oneself to achieve this goal... Braving the world, by not thinking that one day we will pay, for not having done anything wrong... this is what you can call having faith...! This is the role of the Dervish...: Making fun of things that do not make sense... At the heart of the soul...! and Pure Inexistence... The Margin does not prevent to create balanced admission relation with
