The arte therapy in daily life.

 

When we think about art, about artist’s life, children hood, quotidian life, we can see the many different areas where art is included. It can be, it must be incorporated in education, in every daily act, in every small thing of our life.

Many people lives without art, of course, we see it every day. But, what kind of life is this? It is not my intention to judge the way of life of the persons because we all have the freedom of living as we want. But it is my wish, my responsibility, my moral obligation as artist to try to create a better world and a better way of living in it; I’ m very sure that art forms a part of a better life. Because if I think about living without art, I think about a grey life, a life that it‘s empty, something important is missing. And that can’t be replace for anything, because is unique. Art is a way of life, but also is a way to be creative, to be in touch with our minds, our interior, with our spirit; and maybe one of the must important things: art allows us to communicate, to transmit thoughts, sensations, expressions and ideals to the people, and of course to the society. Art let us to share the world with the world. The art is the culture, and there is a phrase which, personally, I like very much, that it says: "The culture is the smile that shines in all sides ". And I couldn’t be more agreed.

To grow in art’s world allows us to see all the diverse practices of it. We had the habit of believing that art is only a painting or a sculpture. But for much that this stopped being like that, and with the advent of new cultures and modern philosophy, they began to be created other forms of artistic expression, different and equally fantastic. Art can be in different shapes, expressions, bags, portfolios, in different situations; it doesn’t matter witches if that express and communicate something to the world.

It is my wish that every single person discover the magnificent and amazing world of art, because I’m sure that our life will change when all of us incorporate art into our routine, to our way of living, our daily life.

In this days of violence, war, of new technologies when everything must to be fast and quickly, where is no time for the reflection, it is no time to ponder, to stop and to estimate the beautiful things of the life. We live in a place where, apparently, it is not time to be calm. It is not time for the peace. Well, the art is the peace, I believe. It is that place when we can be whatever we want, and we can take all the time we need, because art is perpetual, is infinite, and lasts beyond the times. The art is a way of sharing, a way of being solidary with the others. It is a way of understanding our own culture and to be open to the cultures that are different. Because a world without art lacks sense, it would be an ordinary world, cold, empty.

I invite to all of you, ladies and gentlemen, to be a part of this art therapy, and between we can build a better world. I believe in it, I hope you believe too.
