the power of art
I have made visual art in an intense way for almost all my life. I have collegial studies in art both on a practical level but in art history. I saw so much artworks be it by professional or by amateurs artists be it in museum, in books and on the net. At one point I had a virtual gallery of almost 100 000 artworks files.
I had some interests in religious art too. Be it from Christianity, hinduism, paganism, etc. I have done meditation with some of those artworks.
So you can say that I really love visual art. It's true but sometimes, I hate it. I am really sensitive so artworks can have a great power over me. Sometimes I cannot see pictures that inspired me once beacause I feel crushed by their powers. Spirituality is a really intimate thing so to have always a picture made by someone else in my head can be damning. It's like I cannot have my own visions. I feel like it's a violation of my integrity in some point.
In a way everything can have some good and some bad in them simultaneously.
Do some people react the same way that I do?
