“What do you think an artist is? ...he is a political being, constantly
aware of the heart breaking, passionate, or delightful things that
happen in the world, shaping himself completely in their image.
Painting is not done to decorate apartments. It is an instrument of
war.”
―
Pablo Picasso

Italy being a place of love and romance, its streets are high on drama with people enjoying their time out to let their alter ego out into the most creative forms as possible.
Everyone of us has this hidden self or alter ego within us which would come out in someway or the other. Be it art, music, dance etc. The artist is a receptacle for emotions that come from all over the
place: from the sky, from the earth, from a scrap of paper, from a
passing shape, from a spider's web.
Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life
