Art Definition

The definition of art - "the quality, production, expression, or realm, according to aesthetic principles, of what is beautiful, appealing, or of more than ordinary significance".

One does not have to understand art in order to apreciate it. Art is supposed to evoke an emotion, whether it be happiness, sadness or utter disgust, the fact that it moved you, it was successful. One of my true inspirations is "Picasso's Guernica". It's symbolism reflets the pain and anguish of war during the Spanish Civil war, it was understood by the heart before the mind registered it. His paintings were a work of art and not biological drawings with labels.

My attempt is to create and define, not renderings, not mere hues, tones and what seems aesthetically pleasing to the human eye, but to search and reach into the depths of my core to produce images that touches the deep recesses of our hearts and minds.
