Art is a Conversation

Art is not the created object;
Art is Creativity that is
In the process of searching
The beautiful, the meaningful,
The melancholy, the strange,
The wondrous, the banal,
The ugly…
The right and the wrong.

These qualities cannot be created
By will…by intention…by mastery of technique.
They can only be expressed as
An understanding-in-process.
The artist therefore, is not the creator
But the perceiver, the feeler and the thinker
Whose work it is to converse with life
Authentically; and therefore artistically.

Art

Expression without art
Keeps you tied to the emotion.
With art, expression acquires the power
To release you.
It educates, cultivates, sublimates.

The art is in the manner of expression.
The sadhana of the artist
Is not merely to express feelings
But to transform them
Into an experience of beauty.
