Finding happiness through art.

Arthur Schopenhauer, a 19th-century German philosopher, maintained that the wild and powerful human drive to survive and reproduce is essentially what causes suffering and pain in the world. He believed that the only way to escape this suffering was through art. People should either create or contemplate art.

Art is truly a therapy. It is about the idea of self-exploration that can often lead a person to insightful conclusions about themselves. By expressing yourself through art, you see things about yourself that you may not have otherwise comprehended or been able to articulate. While creating art, we become more objective and confident, and the entirety of life and reality attached to it goes into perspective. It feels like being in a different dimension, a world where you have the power to influence and set your own terms.

And so, I feel when I create. I feel like I’m in love… There is that warmth spreading through my heart that makes me happy…

The dictionary states: ‘creation is an act that causes something to exist.’ Imagine how amazing it must be to possess such power, the power of creation! To be free from routine and from the inevitable, free from hard work and from ‘I have to’ – BELIEVE ME, it is a powerful feeling. Can you even imagine what it would mean to possess such great power?

Having such power means being able to influence people, to have the capacity to bring about change. For me, having such power, the power of creation, means being able to BE without other forces interfering. It means being loyal to myself, having the freedom to release myself from that other self – the torn and forked one, the weary, the loaded one, the enslaved… The power of art makes me agree with myself, cease the inner dispute, and it means to be FREE.

The power of ART MAKES ME COMPLETE.
