Why YOU?

The word passion, of course, can mean intense love or intense suffering or both. The two go hand in hand in language as well as life.

YOU fill me with passion.

Express Yourself


One of the biggest reasons I love art is because people can create anything, whether it is a painting, sculpture, theatre, or a piece of music and every person will interpret it differently. I love that when an artist is creating they will have an idea, a purpose, or some sort of motivation that moved them to create this work of art, and when they share what they have done with others every viewer will take away something different. A painting could have been created with the thought of heartbreak, but an onlooker could see it and think of war or the clash of cultures.

Art will never die, it is alive, breathing among us every day. Art is personal, and no ONE piece will ever be duplicated the exact same way, in the same way that no ONE person is exactly like another. There are too many people in our world who want to be like someone else, well guess what, you never will be! Because you are you and no one will ever be like YOU, you are special you are unique. Art is an escape, it is expression, it is unique, it is beautiful. Art teaches us about the world, about people, about love and life. It expands our minds, and teaches us to think abstractly. It is everywhere, it is in all of us.

Express yourself.
