Art is creating images that reflect one's headspace at the time of creation.
The act of creating art is sometimes a struggle, sometime a pleasure, usually a combination of the two.
When creating an new image one either recreates something that he/she has done before and does it again -perhaps with minor modifications - or - one some occasions, one enters into new territory - goes on an exploration, takes risks, pushes the boudries - in order to see what will come out.
Sometimes, the result isn't pretty.
But art isn't just about being pretty. Art is about discovery and growth, too.
Art is a journey into new areas of one's psyche.
Art is a gateway, a test, a challenge.
Art is a choice - a choice of colours, shape, composition, subject matter... etc.
There are so many variables, so many options, so many ways to go.
Each piece of art is a snowflake.
No two are alike. Unless they are. Then one is a copy. But which one?
Do chickens make art? Do eggs?
Why did the art cross the road?
To get to the opening night party, of course!
You know - free wine and maybe cheese!
Art is about freedom. Yes. Freedom to cheese. Er, choose.
One learns about oneself - slowly but surely - by making art.
Images we create can inform us, shock us, allure us, seduce us...
Images suggest new worlds. We all like a new world. Why?
Because this one - well, it's so defined. But is it?
Art suggests not.
Art speaks for itself.
Art is mute but says so much.
All in love with art say 'Eye!'
All the eyes stay focused.
There's more art to be done.
And thank heavenly paintings for that!
Art isn't love. But it's not far off.
Art isn't money. But it can be swapped for it.
Art isn't intelligence. But it does make you smarter.
Art is what you say it is. And a whole lot more.
Art is, to the artist; a friend, family, a lover, a stranger.
Art says hello.
Art had me at hello.
Art - thou art amazing. Graceful and clumsy at the same time.
Damnit art, you look so fine!
Art you have done it again.
You have escaped definition.
Never give up, art. Never give in.
Art you will live forever.
Forever free!
May the spirit within you find it's own art and display it proudly.
Call it your soul.
Why not, cause that's what it is.
Yeah! Now we are talking.
Soul.
Feels right.
Is right.
Art.
