Great art invokes and stimulates your senses, seeping into your hearts and your minds. Every work of art has its own energy. Whether it lies in the smooth curves of a sculpture, or the beat and rhythm of a piece of music, or the tone and color of a painting, that energy defines the ultimate manifestation of the art.
Art is not a luxury, art is a necessity.
The work exists in a space of its own. When you peer at it through your spiritual window, you cross over that threshold and become part of that energy. Once you have made that connection, the work is no longer a two or three dimensional representation. Your personal participation in the art’s effect renders it beyond the measurable constraints of time and space. Right there, the moment is suspended in time, and the energy is as great as your soul will allow.
