What does the future hold for Artists?

Never have the arts been so abundant, rich, diverse and of such quality. Yet the market laws, the lack of interest from institutions, the careerism of Art actors, the decline of galleries, the disappearance of passions in favor of marketing, are pushing creators to their limits.

The public is also taken hostage, flooded with images and meaningless symbols. Official Art has become a fair to the world where the inovation of absurdity and the blatant lack of artistic passions dominate: some artists sell their souls while arrogant and boring professionals no longer lift their eyes from their laptops.

This assessment of our time is irrefutable, but was it better before? How was it during the glorious classical era and the modern revolution? I have read many biographies and none of them were written in periods that were easy for artists to live in. In fact, we are now living in the happiest and most promising period.

An artist can never escape his passion; this passion consumes him and pushes him to express himself with his own language, to share, to fraternize with an audience eager to participate in the great artistic adventure that characterizes the human species.

We must remain wild and pure, cultivate our secret garden, and create without limits and with passion. Let's act on our Art to sublimate it and subjugate the spectator to the point that he can only make it his own, love it and defend it passionately.

The Artist needs no one but his own passion to move mountains, alone against all, alone against the market, alone against ignorance. He must reinvent himself constantly and project his spirit so that a new world of passion and beauty can burst forth.
