What is Art?

Art is a conversation. It speaks to us, our conscious and subconscious. It creates a picture in our minds, painting with our imagination and experience. It binds memory with music, stories with color.

Art carves a cathedral out of the rock of our souls, chipping away at the hard, brittle death and building a sanctuary for God. Art inspires as it destroys.

True art is eternal. Paintings may decompose. Music may be lost in the churning passions of humanity. Sculpture might crumble. But the smooth marble in our souls will never be broken.

A painting is just a strip of canvas with colors on it. A symphony is simply vibrations passing through the air. Art is love. The one who hears and understands, who sees and knows, that person has become art.
