Many people claim: “I love art.”
But what does this statement mean today?
For many, “loving art” means admiring the same historical names - Picasso, Dalí, Da Vinci, Botticelli. These artists are important, but this admiration exists in a safe, distant museum space. It doesn’t require engagement, curiosity, or participation.
Most people who say they “love art” have never purchased even a small original work.
They don’t follow contemporary artists, don’t explore new exhibitions, and don’t participate in the living cultural process.
They buy cars, phones, clothing, dentistry, and services at full price, but when it comes to art, suddenly the value becomes negotiable:
“€1000 is too expensive.”
“Maybe I’ll find something for €200… or for free…”
This reveals something deeper:
People love the idea of art, but not the responsibility of engaging with it.
Loving art is not about admiring museum icons.
It is about allowing art to live in your space, to shape your identity, to challenge and transform you.
Contemporary art carries the voice of the present.
It reflects who we are now - our consciousness, our struggles, our evolution.
As an artist, I explore unity, awareness, and the divine nature within each person through sculpture and painting. My work invites viewers to look at the world not through the eyes of the ego, but through the eyes of the Creator.
If we say we love art, perhaps it is time to ask ourselves:
Do we truly engage with it?
Do we support it?
Do we let it become part of our lives?
This is how culture moves forward - through awareness, participation, and the courage to experience art beyond the museum walls.
