On Art

Art is deeply personal to me. I want my life to be surrounded with art

For now, I’d view art making as a personal pursuit. As a therapy. Or as a way a child would approach. With deep involvement. Art for the sake of it.

This might seem self-centered. However, that’s how I can set out.

I want to create art for myself. This is not meant to appease anyone. This will hang on my wall for whatever time it takes.

What is art?
What makes art good?
What adds meaning to art?

Art should be democratic and accessible to everyone.
Greatest art is when it can communicate the immense wisdom in an instant.
Art should be functional. If no body understands it, then it is not effective art.
Art should have a soul in it. It should reflect the immense beauty of nether world.
Art is not for art’s sake. Art has a higher purpose.

Art should not be ugly and morbid, unless there is a higher intention.
Art should not shy away from exploring the painful
Art can wound us and open us from the inside.
Art can be therapeutic and edifying.

Art should not cause malice.
Art should reflect the truth, beauty and goodness.
Art is forever.
Art points to the depths of eternal truths.

Art doesn’t have to appeal to everyone.

Art is the release of the innermost thoughts, desires, anguish, human connections, acceptance of mortality,

Art is a way to communicate to others things which are way subtle to convey otherwise.

The greatest work of art comes from wrestling with the void, facing it instead of scrambling to make it go away. Artist works quietly in the corner. They turn their inner turmoil into the product. The only relationship between work and chatter is that one kills the other.

Art is an axe for the frozen sea inside us.

Franz Kafka

Art is not for art’s sake. Art has a higher purpose.

Art should not be ugly and morbid, unless there is a higher intention.
Art should not shy away from exploring the painful
Art can wound us and open us from the inside.
Art can be therapeutic and edifying.
