Art of Myth - Statement

Statement

Art takes the invisible soul and brings it forth into the physical realm. The artist

is a vehicle for bringing unseen realities into the world—sometimes creating a

new vision of the concrete, tangible objects surrounding us and sometimes

helping to open the abstract realities of the soul—a reality which cannot be

grasped with the mind nor senses.

______

[An artist] must be able to penetrate the true essence of

the object and transform his impression into a picture with

physical dimensions.

This artistic production reveals to the viewer that which he

could not recognize on his own, an essence that was

obscured by superficial layers.

Only an artist has the skill to reveal the inner dimensions

of an object, thus enabling the observer to see it with a

different perspective, and to realize the limitations of his

previous awareness”
