Abstract

This paper approaches the questions related to the creation in Fine Arts, and on how the artist perceives the time spent during this process. The motivating questions for this research came from the evidences of existence of an interval between the initial project that triggers creation, and the passage in art, the elapsing time to carry through the Fine Artistic work. The text attempts to review the three Gods of Time: Chronos, Aeon and Kairos, as possible intersection points in the experienced time during the process of creation. Chronos, God of chronological time, prevents us to forget the deadlines. Aeon, the eternal presence (the play, the joy), let us have the sensation that, during the creation in Fine Arts, it is possible to stop the time and to live the “time in suspension” for a while. And Kairos, the God of the of the right opportune moments (a passing instant when an opening that brings to different futures appears), may lead us to a new idea, which, like a lightning discloses the unexpected, that may present as a perceptive insight, occurring from, basically, our own choices.
