For me, art is the result of an innate drive to create, to improve, to express a love for someone or something - that's all it is. It's what happens when the soul finds its way out.

Art, the expression of what it is to be human, should be one of the three great endeavours of our age along with scientific progress and the assurance of basic human rights. Art shouldn't be scrapping for its own subsistence; it should be thriving and inspiring the creation of a better world. It takes imagination to see the future, and imagination is the realm of the artist. If you give an artist the freedom to create, you might just find someone who can show you what paradise looks like.
