Thinking about art
Art is the life of each artist, the pure and clean feeling of each person who has talent, art is life, is to express our thoughts, painting and drawing come out of our mind as a feeling and is concretized by means of our hands as a beautiful creation, divine passion of each being, of each artist that inside them there is a seed that the divine creator sowed, a talent that opens up paths and spreads light and hope to all who enjoy the true feeling called: Art. Art is something that can not be expressed in so few words, because it encompasses an infinite space both in the one who creates it and the one who enjoys it.
