The artist

Let’s stop saying that an artist is someone who makes art. Nowadays, who knows what that means anyway. The truth is, the world needs beauty to push against its blandness, ugliness and chaos. The world needs to be held in awe. The world needs its eyes open to new ways of seeing. The world needs to be led to deeper humanity and to awareness of its responsibilities to itself. The world needs to see the light.
Who better to take on this task than the artist? This is what the artist has always done.
