It is NOT a simple transcription of some photographic "reality." And so I must disagree with the title "Farewell to Artist." It would be more appropriate to name this picture "Introduction to the Artist."<br /><br />If it is true that all ideas and themes come from the Divine, from the force that creates the Universe, and that the Divine gives them to us, then we are the "channels" through which these ideas and themes flow onto paper and canvas.<br /><br />We as artists must add our part to these ideas and themes. And the part that we add to our pictures, the part that IS our originality, is ourselves: our life experiences, our feelings, our choices. Without us acting as channels, the ideas and themes would remain purely within our minds and we could never communicate them to others.<br /><br />But we do. And the viewers of our pictures add their creativity as well, which is them and the way they see our pictures and what is in them. But first we must do our part.<br /><br />I feel it would be a serious loss for you to stop being an artist. That is what you do: you are an artist who channels ideas and themes, and creates beauty from them in your pictures. Please continue your important work. Remember: only YOU can create your pictures -- no one else can!<br /><br />This picture (to me) shows a simple yet beautiful truth: it is a portrait of a person who might be from any time or place in history, who might be anyone .... but who that person is, is NOT communicated by his/her face, by how he or she looks. The clearest sign in this picture is the person's heart, and it is through this heart that we get to know this person, and see who they truly are. Everything focuses at the heart.<br /><br />Thank you for this simple, yet beautiful picture, which feels like your profound gift to us.Retromanhttp://blog.retrocollage.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6903697627580663790.post-12815144816463502302011-08-24T08:46:36.000+03:002011-08-24T08:46:36.000+03:00If I get your point, Tomas, it's that all art ...If I get your point, Tomas, it's that all art starts with nature and not with the "artist." But as you know, the artists allows the rest of us to see that nature through different eyes. You always do that and you are, therefore, the artist.<br /><br />Clicks,<br />BudAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6903697627580663790.post-20296372275531379922011-08-24T04:48:07.731+03:002011-08-24T04:48:07.731+03:00Hi Tomas
