About me
THE OTHERS MAY BE HEAVEN
Erik Pevernagie is a Belgian painter and writer, living in Brussels. He has held exhibitions in Paris, New York City, Berlin, Düsseldorf, Amsterdam, London, Brussels, and Antwerp.
The artist is fascinated by the human condition. He wants to comprehend the "how and why" of things and the intricacies of relationships. Being interested in how we have to turn 'surviving' into 'living,' he likes creating good vibrations and displaying the truth behind the appearances. The anchor points in his thinking are love, empathy, mindfulness, awareness, happiness, resilience, meditation, perception, and emotion.
International Herald Tribune:” Bridging the gaps between generations, social strata and nationalities is a tricky business. However, Erik Pevernagie may have hit upon a workable formula to ease the alienation.”
Christie's, New York, Catalogue:"By denying any physical presence of the character and leaving simply dress evidence, the artist gives us a reproduction of the ground zero of the mind. His anti-hero has decided to make tabula rasa and get rid of all acquired alleged qualities.”
Social and cultural issues have guided his adventurous spirit and inspired him to create a meeting place on two boats in the capital of the European Community: “Ric’s River Boat” and “Ric’s Art Boat.”

I have pleasure in presenting “Words of Wisdom” to you, a collection of my words and thoughts selected and illustrated by my readers.
They are inspirational answers to many questions we pose in our life. How can we manage our life without love, attention, or emotion? What can we do to find recognition and self-reliance? What stance should we adopt when we are confronted with impossible dreams, hard facts, and reality? How important is our memory in the furious evolution of time? Are lightness and weightiness not a philosophy of life, and when do we know that we have to loosen up? How can we devise the best attitude towards others, and why is empathy essential in living together? When do we know that our thinking and our emotion are at war?
I would be pleased if you could bring the publication to the knowledge of your friends and followers.
