The creator of imaginative art is not as free in his or her creative work as it may appear. More often than not, artists are controlled by laws of nature that, on the deepest level, corresponds to the law of the psyche. The work of art, whether the artist intends it or not, proffers communication. This communication is made in two voices: they enrich the soul so that it is capable of a more fruitful activity, and, they divert from the mediocrity of life and for a few moments offer solace in the world’s turmoil.

The artist can no more help creating than water can help running downhill. It is a release from the burden of his or her soul.

Art is a kind of magical accident touched with premeditation. Art unfailingly acknowledges life and death, pain and joy, tension and relaxation. Art is part of everyday life. Art is universal.

Communities without art are unknown. True art awakens a sense of personal involvement with the viewer, the listener, the reader. Art is either in the line of tradition – repeating, following or reacting against it. If you look at a piece of art or a listening or reading, the creator has invited you into his or her life.

There is a reason why articulation means holding together, connectedness. The root of that articulation comes from art. Artists try to understand that connection. He or she appear to be compelled to act upon the impulse to preserve and the creative spirit can express itself with whatever means are at hand.

A comparison of imaginative art to a microphotograph shows that true abstract works have surprising naturalistic elements of matter. A pictorial image from an electromicroscope could be as well a work created by Paul Klee, Jackson Pollock, Kadinsky and so on. Modern or Imaginative art did not appear until as recently as the early 1900’s. Nevertheless, the very first beginnings of imaginative art go back very far in history. It came to flower in the Third Millenium B.C. in the Mediterranean Basin, when it was a mode of expression of pure emotional and religious emotion. The intertwined history of religion and art, reaching back even to prehistoric times, is a record of what was meaningful and moving then.

There are certain laws, drawn from nature which govern order, balance, rhythm and meaning by which artists are profoundly influenced. Whether or not they are aware of it, artists apply principles of movement and all other aspects of existence – the basic design – as formation principles of their creative work. Many elements in art are sensed, not seen, heard or touched. The successful call to the emotions is effected by the placing of forms and accents, or emphasis according to a rhythmic movement or measure.

Often, art in all possible forms has become a refuge to me, a compensation for the shortcomings in reality. The only place where you can meet the true me is where I create. There, you can recognize me, in yourself.
