WHAT I BELIEVE ABOUT ART
“It is possible to create art without a mind, but it is impossible to do it without a soul. Your art will look exactly like your soul does, it will be a mirror of your truest ego, of your deepest desires, of your strongest emotions and hopes. Whoever knows how to look at it will be able to see the whole you in your art. It’s not easy to show one’s soul so completely naked, this is why you have to truly need it in order to find the way and the courage to create it.
If you don’t need it like air, it is not art.”
– Julia Anna Gospodarou –
