BLURB:
Dream
without fear. When dreams are nourished with faith and actions, dreams bloom
into realities.
Jose,
a self-taught artist, had no formal training in art, no scholastic
qualifications and had very challenging life experiences as an international
sailor, chef, watchmaker and stone mason. How can one be multi-skilled and pass
international standards without proper educational training?
This
book will make you rethink how adversity, grief and loss can cause so much
pain, and yet these life challenges can facilitate creativity, and be
transformed into gifts and blessings for a meaningful and productive existence.
Get
inspired by faith and determination that changed the course of life, and be
entertained by the unconventional ways Jose educated and equipped himself with
skills to achieve dreams and goals. The one-of-a-kind masterpieces in this book
and Jose's life are testimonials that creativity can really transform lives.
Miracles do happen, and anyone can manifest miracles if they sincerely believe
in themselves and in the intervention of the unseen power of the Supreme
Creator.

EXCERPT
Some of the art pieces were highlighted with microlights
when photographed. The results were beyond expectations— almost miraculous!—as
Jose does not have any significant artistic talents or training nor did he have
prior plans to create these artworks. He did not even have prototypes and
didn’t even know how to draw. He was diagnosed as colour blind for most colours
(except for traffic lights), so he asked Lourdes to help with the colours for
the installation of the right microlights.
One of the Most Expensive, Iconic and Kinetic Maps of
Australia in the World The artwork’s designs were dictated by his dreams and
imagination. Jose made use of his technical discoveries in watch repair and
electronics to revive old timepieces and make them functional again. He used
trashed spare parts and old pieces of jewellery to create one-of-a-kind
treasured masterpieces. Jose humbly admits that the ideas and successful effort
behind these creations did not come from him but from the Supreme Being, whom
many of us call God. He also believes in the transformative power of love and
support that comes from those who truly love, wish and pray for his well-being
and success.
His greatest realization is that to connect with the Supreme
Creator, the Master Artist of the Universe, all he must do is pray to God as
the most trusted Being. The nearest distance to be heard and make dreams
manifest is between his knees and the floor. Nothing to lose, everything to
gain. It is his life goal to help others realise the value of dreams, the need
to act on them without fear and to fully trust God to guide them in their life
journey no matter how difficult challenges can be.
