Sometimes
I think my life was easier if I
wasnt. .But now .it is too late, I
cannot help it. Being an artists
sometimes .is difficult, as
it never allows you to indulge in the .illusion of a
safe life, one of obey
the rules and everything. will work out
fine. .
Becoming
.an artist means sacrifice.
I had to leave behind .many things,
people, places, possessions, things that .would have bound
me. Instead I gained the most precious
gift of all: freedom.
Being an artist means a
life of surprise. Nothing is
sure. Everything can .change .unexpectedly.
One big, very special adventure.
One of
the artists I .admire
most is Joseph Beuys. who .says:
Everybody is
an artist.
I subscribe to .that.
In each and
everyone of us lies this .divine power to
create, to pull things .from the deep inside yourself out to. the light and
give it a form: a .piece .of art.
The act to create is
essential .to being a human.
It gives all the .pleasure and
satisfaction nothing else .can ever give.
Art. is about
creating.
Our. entire
life is about creating: it .is our purpose in life.
So I invite .to join
me and enjoy my work .and maybe
let inspire you to embark on a .similar
journey: to a place deep.inside
and reaching out for the .world at
the same time..
