I wish I was an artist

Wed Jul 6, 2005, 9:11 PM
Honestly, I think if I could be one thing, I would want to be an artist. I know that I'm not one as of now and despite my attempts in every subgenre I will never be. I love art more than I love anything. I see beauty in every single space I will ever pass through, in every anomaly and detail of nature and in every landmark of the created world in which we live. Nothing is ever plain in my mind. The entirety of the universe is sheer poetic beauty and I simply wish I had a manner through which I could capture it. But nothing I create can ever portray the natural beauty of existanciality. The world is so fabulous on it's own that we fail to capture the quintessence of it through photograph, painting or poetry. The true artists who succeed are who we all strive to be. They seek out the beauty and add to it and give it substance. True artists are gifted and their lives are lived through every detail of their art.

I love it.

they say, we are living in a postmodern era. those, who started it, stated, that everybody is an artist, and that life and art cannot be divided anymore.
we can either agree or disagree.

There are two lines of thinking. #1 Artists rarely know they are until they discover it, and they cannot be taught, only found. #2 You are what you make yourself to be, be it a connoisseur, or a creator.

I understand the point of view shown there, but I don't agree. Art should be boundless. If you believe in what you created than it is art. Anyone should be able to do so and with any motivation.

i belive that Art is supposed to be manifested in the world in the same way that we try to manifest our good qualities: joy, peace, love, .... Beauty and art go together. :meditation:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Both art and spirituality have a goal, and that goal is supreme joy, supreme delight. We can say that art is a tree of evolution. We climb up this tree in order to pluck the fruits of light and delight, and we climb down this tree in order to distribute the fruits of light and delight.”

“The ultimate goal of an artist lies only in pure spirituality. Spirituality means Infinity, Eternity and Immortality. Spirituality is one’s own reality. If one does not ultimately reach his own reality, then he is always a failure. So the ultimate goal of any artist, no matter what kind of artist he is, is spirituality - if he has any ultimate goal as such. That is because spirituality is the only reality, which embodies Infinity, Eternity and Immortality. The artist can achieve that goal through his artistic expression while remaining in the highest consciousness.”
