The sole art that suits me is that which, rising from unrest, tends toward serenity.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Supreme serenity still remains the Ideal of great Art. The shapes and transitory forms of life are but stages toward this Ideal, which Christ's religion illuminates with His divine light.
Art is the triumph over chaos.
I used to find that I could get mental serenity surrounded by chaos.
What some people interpret as brooding melancholy is serenity. I don't feel required to grasp all the time.
One of the reasons that art is important to me is sometimes it actually feels more coherent than life. It orders the chaos.
Serenity is the balance between good and bad, life and death, horrors and pleasures. Life is, as it were, defined by death. If there wasn't death of things, then there wouldn't be any life to celebrate.
I think art can reflect tragedy.
The only thing I was trying to portray was serenity. Also, innocence, vulnerability and elegance.
Most of the art I have is more on the beautiful side than the violent or disturbing side.
What keeps me sane the most is, honestly, the Serenity Prayer.
