Summary/Abstract: Art is the result of a state of transcendence, where one’s ideal of aesthetic, philosophical and existential exploration reaches a moment of enlightenment and the representation of life is conveyed with utmost clarity and inspiration. Art is an act of offering but also of personal fulfilment, conveying, as it does, one’s vision of reality that is produced after vigorous soul-searching. In that sense, art is a chance to communicate, to make aware of, to raise or resolve perennial ontological questions. At the same time, art is also the product of a coming together of craft, beauty and perspective. It is a moment of perfect alignment of the outer world and the inner impulse to create and to share. It is the material embodiment of talent, perception and a need to express.
