Clithar baiscill ‘the shelter of a lunatic’. ‘El refugio de un lunático’

Clithar baiscill is a symbol of the Ogam alphabet. Ogmic writing, Ogham or Ogum was an alphabetic sign system used to graphically represent the Irish and Pictish languages ​​on stone monuments; mostly between 400 and 600 years of the Common Era. Known only by Druids and bards. Within this secret alphabet there are very common terms, such as "at home frozen" or "sweeter tree". However, Clithar baiscill, is interpreted as "refuge of a lunatic." This fact aroused my curiosity, and I found it very attractive to be able to define my personal relationship with painting. Being since very small this last, my lair before the adversities of life; and not without irrationality. The menhirs, are once again metaphors of people, who on their way in this pictorial field, approach or move more or less away from light (success); or they stay halfway. In fact the symbol itself, could easily be interpreted as a series of menhirs.
