Life is full of many different experiences. It is much like a cake with many layers. There is joy, which feels like sunshine on a warm day. There is struggle, which can feel like trying to solve a very tough puzzle.

We live in a world divided by thousands of spoken languages. A person from Japan and a person from Brazil may not be able to talk to one another, but they can both stand before the same painting and feel a surge of hope, fear, or wonder.

Real art comes from a place deep inside. It is not made to match a couch or follow trends. It is made because something needs to be said. When you look at authentic art, you are seeing the artist's feelings, memories, and choices all mixed together on the canvas.
