What is the art world? I never really understood. I started doing this stuff to do what I want to do. Not to be this or that.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Unfortunately, I haven't thought sufficiently about art. What I never realized - and it's really stupid - is the art world is the art world because all these thousands of famous and not-famous artists do things, over centuries. This hadn't occurred to me.
In any great art, you create a world, and you invite people into that world, and hopefully, it's fleshed out enough and you've explained it well enough.
Art's a very metaphysical activity. It's something that enriches the parameters of your life, the possibilities of being, and you touch transcendence and you change your life. And you want to change the life of others, too. That's why people are involved with art.
Through art, you create your own world.
Art is about the messy and marvelous business of coming to your senses - and also, to the senses of the world.
Art is essentially communication. It doesn't exist in a vacuum. That's why people make art, so other people can relate to it.
Seriously, I wanted to be an artist because I saw that it meant endless possibilities. I came from a badly managed family background, so art was a way of reinventing myself.
Art is a deception that creates real emotions - a lie that creates a truth. And when you give yourself over to that deception, it becomes magic.
A work of art is a world in itself reflecting senses and emotions of the artist's world.
To create a work of art is to create the world.
