What is Art?

Many people have tried to answer this question, and yes there are many answers to this question. But I'll try to give my own little definition of what this means and what this embarks. So here we go...

ART is: The physical manifestation of emotional expression!

Yup, it's that simple! It's basically anything that expresses what you feel inside, this could be either through music, literature, painting, photography, performances and so on. But the biggest and most impressive forms of art is life itself. A life lived to the fullest is the greatest expression of art ever. 

Your life, the lives of those around you...all on the gigantic stage we call life. Our interactions, our anger and our sadness, our joys and our accomplishments creates the greatest story ever told. Your own life! Many people alive have sold their artistic selves to the monster which is the norm. Trying to fit in, trying to be the same...trying to just plainly live. So you find yourself sitting in a job you hate, surrounded by people you despise...and then...you die!

That my friends is not art, but rather the absence of art. If you do anything that brings you joy and satisfaction. Something to express your personality, it could even be business, it becomes a life style of artistic expression. 

In one of my many journeys over the years I have met one person who is a true artist. I met her in a little town on the pacific coast of Mexico. During our short encounter we all learned about living an artistic life style, and I would just like to show you all some of the art she has been doing. Her name is Anja Firing Gravingsmyr and this is some of the art she has been doing. Check it out.

This is just a small sample of the various different forms of expression a person can do. Everybody in the world has their own unique way of expressing themselves. This is the key element to the True Art Gathering, to unite all of artists, and celebrate artistic expression. Either way in the next blog I'll disclose some more information on the True Art Gathering. 

For now, go ahead and think of what you have...how your life is the canvas and you hold the brush to paint the masterpiece. Your masterpiece! 

The need for an artistic revolution is great, but the revolution will only begin from your own beating heart.
