More than one year presenting myself: the reactions - 1

Since I started presenting myself as Michelangelo himself, the most weird reaction was the inverse identification of my art.
During the 90's, when I was looking for a living with my art and presenting me as Eurico Poggi, I spent more than 10 years hearing the same crap: "Hey! All your pieces are from Michelangelo! Don't you have anything created by you?" This judgment of any photo of my art work was so automatic that I found myself trying everything to erase my Michelangelo's style. I needed to be accepted as an artist. And the only solution was to completely avoid drawing and sculpting.
But 2007 came and I realized that there would be no solution to my life without exposing my secret personal story. By the end of 2008, after the release of my documentary film "Icarus, Contemplation & Dream", when I finally presented my art work with the true context that generated it, I understood that I had to present myself as the original Michelangelo. And I came to the internet and changed all my profiles wherever I have one.
What a surprise. As a "lunatic" claiming to be the famous italian renaissance artist, for the first time in my life I met people that don't even think my art being close to the works of Michelangelo. Why is that? Do you know why? I know the explanation to this twisted reaction to my art.
But… beyond this politics of ego recognition, I saw that the best way to create a dialogue between me and people in general, and spread my personal story, is to be attacked. Yeah! I have to be attacked! And I love to strike back!
The next posts I will show the only three attacks I have suffered until now. My intention is to start a war, any kind of war, but none of my "enemies" didn't respond to my verbal retaliation. It's very disappointing, but I still have a great hope to have a huge argument with someone with balls to do so.

The War Of MABUS - Who is the great imbecile?

Here we have two idiots from different parts of the world.
The first one, some fucking "hopelesslyinlovedu", claimed to be "well-educated". But he came to the conclusion that I'm copying my own work (of my italian life). I asked him to show me the originals that he thinks I'm copying. He simply refused to argue with me. So what would be the reason that an asshole like him had to write this comment below my video The Messiah on YouTube?

hopelesslyinlovedu:
no, this guy thinks his the reincarnation of Michelangelo, so he copies Michelangelo's work. the only think I have to say is that any averagely-talented art student is able to do this.

Of course this blockhead just wanted to attack me. Since he didn't discuss any point with me, I decided to show what kind of shit I have been found around the world.

The second idiot is this Mark Anthony M. Perez that showed up on my FaceBook page.
He asked me about the books he thinks I'm using to make my drawings.
I'm really surprised to see that my drawings could be considered copies when they are not.

But after all these "misunderstandings" (these two imbeciles cannot understand what they see), I will show a person who thinks the opposite! I will show a jerk (The Old Pothead Lady) that thinks my art work has nothing to do with Michelangelo (my old self)! How could people react to the same drawings in such different ways? The answer: they just wanted to attack me because they don't admit the reality of my bio.

The contrast of these impressions about me IS the main aspect of my personal war - The War Of MABUS. There's a wide gap in today's culture concerning art. After the brainwash of the XX century, the entire world has the SAME comprehension of what art is about: they think that is equal to some "scientific search". In every corner of this stupid planet I have met the same kind of people. It's easy to see that nobody wants to leave the mainstream.

Andreas Gosch said:
You've got phenomenal works on your stream! Probably you are not the reincarnation of Michelangelo, but you are close to to him.
My reply:
Just a question, Andreas Gosch…
If I show you a proof of my artistic identity, how would be your reaction?

After this mystic opinion (I am close to him… wow…) of this imbecile, I understood that being polite won't lead me anywhere.
I have a lifetime of proofs of being not a reincarnation but being Michelangelo himself for a second time. But how could I get a chance to explain that with all this silence around me?
And what kind of proof this asshole will be able to think about?
I really want to see the face of those idiots the day that I open a few secrets of my art. Whatever…
Well, from that point, I decided to be the most rude I could be replying in english. (This is probably why most brazilians are mute: we speak the same language. There would be no boundaries for my violence in portuguese).
From now on, it's WAR!

Traduzindo a postagem de forma resumida:
Depois de me elogiar, um boçal chamado Andreas Gosch me disse que acha que eu não seja a reencarnação de Michelangelo. Mas, em tom místico, acha que estou "perto dele".
Eu lhe perguntei, então, qual seria a sua reação caso eu apresentasse uma prova de ser o próprio Michelangelo. Sinceramente, eu achei que ele me perguntaria por tal prova, mas não houve resposta.
Nesse ponto, eu comecei a entender que a minha postura educada inicial não ajudava na divulgação da minha experiência de vida. Foi então que decidi sair chutando a cara desses gringos babacas pra ver se algum imbecil resolveria me enfrentar. Acabou dando certo com uma americana, que apelidei de velha maconheira.
Comentei, também, que eu acho que a galera brasileira está calada porque a minha violência em português não teria limites. Bem, isso é fato, mas acho que ninguém ainda se animou a me atacar porque tem outros meios para fazê-lo. Porém, teve gente que me "atacou" por email (não foi bem um ataque, mas eu estou considerando como tal para ter assunto no blog, rrsssss).

Your work is very good. Sculpture must be very difficult! You definately have a gift. You should do some original work.

This opinion is a typical prejudice of whom does not know a thing about classic sculpture. It's typical from modern art robots. Any brief look at pics on an average book of greek-roman culture reveals how different this piece is from the original classic nude.
I would like to see the face of those who thinks this piece is not that original when they become aware of how this Apollo's body is unique. The complex anatomic distortion creates a 360º visual impact. There's no relation with the natural body. I would like to ask if someone could imagine how I did it. I bet that nobody can even wonder.
This lizadreams makes Picasso-like paintings. I spent my last two decades observing thousands of Picasso-like "artists". I cannot even point out who is who. Nowadays the guidelines of "how to be original" are imposed by the modern global culture. Thanks God I have enough soul to scape from this stupid global art destiny.

Essa opinião é o típico preconceito de quem não sabe porra nenhuma de escultura clássica. É algo típico de robôs da arte moderna. Uma rápida verificada em um livro qualquer de cultura greco-romana revela como esta minha obra é diferente dos nus clássicos.
Gostaria de ver a cara das pessoas que pensam que esta obra não é original no dia que tiverem consciência de como o corpo do Apolo é único.A distorção anatomica cria um impacto visual em 360º. Não há relação alguma com o corpo natural. Gostaria de perguntar se alguém imagina como fiz essa escultura. Duvido que alguém me responda.

Essa lizadreams faz pinturas tipo Picasso. Passei duas décadas conhecendo milhares de "artistas" desse tipo. Nem consigo distinguir um do outro. Mas hoje em dia existe uma cultura global moderna ditando como ser original. Agradeço a Deus por ter alma suficiente para escapar desse destino global imbecil do mundo da arte.

I like this !

What a surprise… She likes my process. This is the typical behavior of modern art robots: pointing out some gestures and fragments of material that looks unusual. What a jerk. Did she ever stop to think about the desperate search of the new imposed by today's unique view of art?

People don't get my art because of the forgotten visual science of my time. My understanding of the world is complete different. Although I'm living in today's world, the art experience that guides my hands comes from my first life. When the need to express the transcendence of the human figure was the main aspect of every representation. It was virtually impossible to separate the teological from the classical issue. The christian stories were the ultimate human expression and the images of the classical past was a mystery to be recovered.
So how can I explain to modern art robots what was my intentions on this colored study for a Sacred Family?
I made this drawing using a white chalk to think the composition one more time. The colors were a quick option to make a 3D ilusion.

This woman, lizadreams, is the typical modern art robot.
She was the first retarded to attack me. The way she tried to point out a lack of divinity on my work would be funny, but it's just human stupidity in its normal scale.
My reply was polite. I though she would debate with me.
But how could a debate occur when the concerning aspect of discussion is some divine quality that she saw on my Italian drawings? I could show to her many Italian drawings so bad executed that I do not recognize these drawings as having been made by me.

lizadreams says:
Your drawings are good..great, but something is missing. You are still a great artist, far better than I'll ever be, but you're no M.Angelo. M.Agelo's work had divine beauty in the most simple sketches and even in the ugliest figures and portraits.

MichelAngelo▲ says:
You are wrong, lizadreams.
I'm MichelAngelo.
You just can't admit it to yourself because you envy me.
If you knew a little about the art of sculpting you would understand my geometric language of the male nude.
That's what proved my identity to myself, 18 years after the remembering of Vittoria's death.
That's what I'm going to expose to everybody.
But you can't even know what I'm talking about because there's nothing in books about my spatial reconstruction of the human anatomy.
What a pity.
What do you mean about divine beauty?
Could you give me an example?
That sounds to me like pure fetish.
Keep your fetish on ancient art to yourself, OK?
Just an information: this drawing was made in 1985.

Português:
Essa mulher, lizadreams, é o típico robô da arte moderna. Apesar de ser uma boçal, eu acho que vale a pena postar a opinião dela.
Essa colocação dela, de que o meu desenho não possui a qualidade divina dos meus desenhos italianos, seria motivo de riso não fosse apenas expressão da estupidez humana mais comum.
A atitude incondicional de ver o divino em rabisco antigo é típica de turista deslumbrado com aquilo que sequer entende a natureza. O problema é que há desenhos atribuídos a mim que eu não os reconheço como sendo meus. Alguns porque são simplesmente toscos e outros por estranheza em relação à construção visual. E ela acha tudo "divino". PQP… Mas eu sabia que encontraria retardadas desse gênero assim que abrisse a minha história.
