"All works are born from the pulsation of inspiration: all images are born from a point and a line." It's like another layer of human thinking, another territory that will suddenly give me a sense of timelessness.
Communicating Spirituality Through Art
01. April 2024
Art is of utmost importance for the world: it is an instrument and an important form of human dialogue.
