Conception, my boy, fundamental brain work, is what makes all the difference in art.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We are all born artists... Almost everything kids do is art.
I think art, at its best, happens on a conscious and a subconscious level.
Art is Art. Everything else is everything else.
Art does not reproduce what we see; rather, it makes us see.
What strikes me is the fact that in our society, art has become something which is only related to objects, and not to individuals, or to life.
We are all born artists. If you have kids, you know what I mean. Almost everything kids do is art. They draw with crayons on the wall.
My writing and my paintings do not have a direct connection in my mind. But I am sure they influence each other in the measure that everything we do is linked to whatever we are, which includes whatever we have done or are doing.
Art comes from a visceral need and is usually generated by something I have seen; writing comes from something that happens in my head and my heart.
Thought is more important than art. To revere art and have no understanding of the process that forces it into existence, is finally not even to understand what art is.
For me, art is such a wide concept - anything can be art.
