I think that art is another way to communicate, to express my ideas , for me art should have a message of a sort. This is the way I saw art when I was a little boy trying to express his Ideas with simple drawings, and this is the way I see art when working on my digital art or writing poetry today. Some times I ask myself, if we can reach people through “reason”! but I think its better to get to people’s hearts through emotions, through ART, and from there we might get to their reason. Or maybe use extremes in art – and that is what I usually try – in order to make people think and ponder after their emotions become tens. Then their analysis might bring with it reasoning.
