Artist Statement
Where do I begin? Well, instead of talking about me, I will talk about
my views on art, what art is, how does art make me feel etc. Art has
always made me feel a sense of eternity. It is like I'm always there. I
never liked the concept of death. I don't like things disappearing or
disintegrating. Immortality always appealed to me. Art to me is the only
thing that is immortal. Art makes me feel like I'm am living in a
timeless and harmonious existence with the universe. It makes me feel
like I have merged with the universe. It makes me feel at one with the
universe. It is art that made me feel like I understand the infinity of
the cosmos. That is only how art makes me feel. Now, I will talk about what is art. Art is not the end. Art is only a means to the end. The end is
beauty. Art itself is neutral. It is not beautiful nor ugly. Beauty is a
concept. Different people will connect with art differently. Different
people favor different kinds of art. Everyone has an idea of what good
art is. But, not everyone will agree on what is good art. Art has the
ability to allow the admirer to reach a new height of understanding
beauty. Beauty is a concept that is quite hard to understand. It might
not even be able to be understood at all, at least not logically. But
you can feel it. It is an extremely strong compelling emotion that
overtakes you. In everyday life, it is very hard to experience the
admiration for beauty. This is where art comes in. Art is a tool used to
help you experience the admiration for beauty. For, this is the purpose
of art.
