Soul

The world sees artists primarily as creators. And yes, of course we make things. But we are also thinkers and feelers. We think.. And we feel it. Deep. And I believe that thinking and feeling are the most important parts of an artist. More important than crafting. Because our thinking and feeling is what drives creation and leads to what we do. As an artist, my thinking often transcends other aspects of being human; in fact, it transcends all other aspects of me as a person. It can flow over part of a creature. Sometimes I get so focused on doing, on creating, on thinking that I lose awareness of what is happening. And you come to the realization that art (for me and maybe for you too) is the key to awareness. Making art is not a direct way to change our minds or change ourselves. Art is how we see ourselves. A way of seeing our inner world – our thoughts and beliefs, our feelings and emotions, our love and aversion. By creating art, we get to know our inner world.

I would like to summarize the thoughts of Sveti Frančišek Asiški, which I internalized and took as my inspiration… ``He who works with his hands is a worker. He who works with his hands and head is a craftsman. He who works with his hands, head and heart is an artist.`` And so begins the magical cycle of creation together with nature...
