El acontecer del misterio en el silencio, la contemplación y representación

This article aims to show the profound interrelationship between the Mystery, silence, spiritual experience and art; in an intent to trace the requirement of the spiritual experience representation through the symbol. The mystery and its welcoming by the human being, implies in itself the need for silence and contemplation. These two features are essential elements to identify the human being’s spiritual authenticity. Although silence and contemplation seem to talk about the human ‘passivity’, the dynamism generated by living this experience encourages the subject to express a reality that transcends and fascinates him in various ways. The most suitable way for this expression is the symbol, which seeks to represent an experience that communicates and transforms. The creative and constantly transformative force of this process, allows you to discover in the work of art, the visible sign of the Holy Mystery self-revelation. In facing the hustle and bustle of the contemporary world, which does not give a seclusion space; this reflection is an alternative to deepen into the need for spirituality in the human being’s configuration.
