Mystery lives on. The symbolic meaning remains the same. Luis Ventós recognised it when he discovered the painting by Torrentius, through the mysteriousness it conveys, and this is what led him to pick up this thread that had become a loose end in time. The human being is an enigma to itself, something the Dutch painter probably wanted to express with this painting. The great poet Rainer Maria Rilke wrote that “beauty is nothing but the beginning of terror which we are barely able to endure.” And this can be applied to any true art. Mystery opens a door we are not allowed to enter. There is probably Nothing on the other side and we would only have to look back and see Everything again. This is where art is made. Meaning true art, like Torrentius and like Luis Ventós.
