In this post I’ll try to describe the way Art is and works, beyond any ideological preferences. In any case, it will still be the way I see things. The purpose of this post is to gain clarity on what is actually happening and what it is we are actually…

Art is a connecting, unifying force. It can be used for the opposite, but it functions optimally with that intention. I think this is because art can only be created out of love. The requirement to doing anything is balance, especially when it comes to making art. Art is not…
