The craft of the artist: precious diary of a visionary craftsman of thought.
“Being Un Artist”: some spaces cannot be taken by anyone.
The craft of the artist is like the precious diary of a visionary artisan, his thought that takes shape and becomes artwork.
It is generally thought that the eye is the primary means of artistic inspiration, but this is only partially true; in fact, to communicate, both intellectually and emotionally, through our artworks, we must learn to listen, not only with our ears but also with our heart.
We Listen! We Listen! We listen and let to be our art do the talking.
We use the 5 senses + 2 mind and heart; we are usually curious, we live in the real world, but we make it our way. As creators, we make sure the rhythms of creation be our rhythms, because we are in this world, but we do not belong to it.
Let’s chase emotions, let’s live our creative idleness and get lost in the ecstatic and aesthetic breaks.
Let us be washed over, indulging and losing ourselves in the ecstasy of beauty, by listening to the silence and its stories.
We must never deem to be mindful to know ourselves, others and the world; because one life is not enough to know everything.
We live in our world, with our pace, pauses and silences, priorities and values off the grid, seeking to belong to the heavenly one, made of spirit and to which we artists belong to as creators of beauty and harmony.
We are being perceived as weird by the rest of the world because we differ, not homologated, and diversity is scary.
We look for our peers instead, those who share our world, without limitations of language, race or religion; without boundaries, because — art — has no limits and lines.
We cultivate the capability and the importance of being amazed at any aspect of everyday life — from sunset to an old shoe — experimenters; we can and make everything brand new. The continuous discovery of things and ideas, getting these evidence out of our world.
We make overwhelming and stunning use of objects and places of a conventional approach. Through our creativity, we render them new and unique, endowed with immense emotional power, so-called — the lateral thinking.
Our approach to art comes so naturally whenever we photograph, we paint a chair, a window, a fork, a stone, an earring, a landscape or a glimpse and architecture, managing to convey to a reader a shiver down his back, an emotion, which is what interests him most.
We never lose sight of the past work of Masters and the work of contemporaries’ likewise, because the fact to wandering about with the same background and means of expression, gives a boost to one’s self-esteem, making us automatically unique, exclusive, self-aware creative human beings.
