My Philosophy of Art and Life…

(On the Aegean Sea/All Rights Reserved)

I believe in art, not as a power to reveal or as a power to transform life, as I think the one who finds revelation and transforms is the artist. The artist grows with the search, and as I have said many times before, art is the search…

Wisdom is a gift from God. And yes! I believe, absolutely, in God. Why? Because I am a student of life, of nature and of man and I have come to the only realistic conclusion which is we are creatures of God. God is and has always been…

I believe that art serves several purposes, including to beautify and decorate walls, but also to transmit ideas, feelings and emotions as it speaks to the eternal present in which we exist…

The spirituality in art comes from its contemporary nature. The painter needs to paint what exists in his lifetime. If he doesn’t his work is dead…

The artist is a philosopher that expresses his philosophy on canvas…

The artist must speak of everything and must be aware of all things going on in his «polis,» in other words in his town, community, country. Who better than someone with knowledge, experience and wisdom to speak on things…

    I agree with you, Francisco – while art is a beautiful thing that has the power to bring people together and give them a sense of peace, it can also be used to communicate ideas and thoughts; it can be used as a tool for self-expression, used as a form of therapy, or even as a means to find beauty in life. Thanks for sharing and have wonderful weekend 🙂 Aiva xx

    1. Definitely Aiva, and good point about Art Therapy. Art in itself is a form of therapy but using it as an applied method of therapy is one of the very positive things art has to offer. All the best.

    Well stated, Francisco. Some people’s professional interests or preferences are for a different time than their own, like the ancient or renaissance periods. I would personally stretch your boundaries for people whose interest and knowledge is other periods or even otherworldly. Not arguing, just suggesting a broader interpretation.

    1. What I meant wasn’t in reference to study or preference, I referred only to work outcome in art. Like trying to paint now like a Renaissance painter, or Medieval. But I do like the otherworldly option…
