What Is Art To You?

“Exploring life through art, exploring art to live.”

But what is art? I think everyone has different definition of art, depends on their own experiences and relationships towards art itself.

For me, to understand art is to understand life. Art is a tool of exploration and a media of expression when the words and idealism fail to do so.

It is impossible to avoid any ideas, controversies, and feelings, whenever I want to understand art. Yet it is also impossible to keep staying at the same point of life whenever I want to express art. It forces me to experience everything and letting go everything, almost at the same time. A balance in an unbalance situations.

Art has a very close relationship with philosophy, architectures, and aesthetics. And if we wanna go even broader, art also about constellations, mathematics, and not to mention politics as well.

I remember my curator used to said, “You can be a marketer, an accountant, or whatever your job description is, but once an artist, will always remain an artist. It is a way of life, the way you see and experience things. It's in the way you live your life, even to the things that you thought as unrelated to art.”

Don't get intimidated by art, and never complicate art. Art is always simple. Complications only made by those who have the importance to gain something from art. Real artists just wanna be understand and accepted, afterall that's why we run into art at first.

Just try to do any simple task that is related to art, and let your heart and body feel it. Then you'll understand.

What is art to you?

Education & Detachment

"I believe that the true value of education lies not in the accumulation of knowledge, but rather in the cultivation of the ability to educate oneself. It is not a finite endpoint, but an ongoing process that requires self-reflection, curiosity, and a willingness to learn. The same goes to detachment; it is not solely about releasing attachments to things and people, but rather about cultivating the ability to recognize our attachments and the hold they have on us. It is not about becoming indifferent or apathetic towards the world around us. Rather, it is about the process of cultivating inner freedom, that requires ongoing practice and self-reflection, much like the process of education. Both education and detachment are important for us to master, for only when we feel enough about ourselves and stop making our lives as the center of the world, or the projects to fix, we can then learn more about the universe and how life actually works. And isn't that the greatest desire a...

A Perfectly Happy Artist

-When Beatrix Potter was a little girl, imagining stories about rabbits that wear smart jackets, she was a lonely child who needed to concoct some company. And when Monet paint his impressionistic water lilies, he was a man deeply dissatisfied with traditional views of nature. The inventions of writers and artists are forged through dissatisfaction. That discrepancy between the world we walk through and the world inside of us encourages some to try to build a bridge (in the shape of a book about talking bunnies or an impressionistic painting). A perfectly happy artist would be a failure.- "I disagree on the part of the perfectly happy artist, tho." "Oh why?" "It just doesn't exist so it won't ever fail." --------- - Aim for a better tomorrow through healthy lifestyle, diverse insights, creative arts, and minimalist living. -  ViliaCiputra.com Thank you for supporting  my intention  through owning  my artworks , reading  my writings , and following ...
