Every artist seems to me to have the job of bearing witness to the world we live in. To some extent I think of all of us as artists, because we have voices and we are each of us unique.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I do believe everyone on this earth is an artist - some people more than others. But I do believe we are all artists in a certain way. We all have unique abilities. There are people who are meant to make it their life, and that is a different kind of person who would choose to be on that path.
There's a power in what we hold as artists, and part of that comes with responsibility... to share the human experience and really allow that to be seen.
There are two kinds of artists in this world; those that work because the spirit is in them, and they cannot be silent if they would, and those that speak from a conscientious desire to make apparent to others the beauty that has awakened their own admiration.
I am very conscious of who I am as an artist and as an inspirational person.
I've probably represented almost every major artist in the world, either directly or peripherally, at one time or another.
As an artist, it feels good that we've created something that is connecting with the audience, which is what we always strive to do.
I've always wanted to be a real universal artist, one that every type of audience could relate to.
Artists instinctively want to reflect humanity, their own and each other's, in all its intermittent virtue and vitality, frailty and fallibility.
Actually, I don't think there's anyone that represents the artists, except the artists themselves.
The artist's job is to be a witness to his time in history.
