As a painter I am a strong believer that the true beauty of art is based on the artists honesty within the piece. We live in a society where we are surrounded by opinions and constantly thought to distinguish right from wrong based on someone else's guidelines. I am an emotion triggered artist and when I came across this quote it hit home. It's not about the multitude but rather the individual that softly speaks to me and thanks me for creating a piece that helped put words to an emotion they could never explain.
“I think the unity of a painter’s work arises from the fact that a person, brought to a desperate situation, will behave in a certain way. That’s what real style is: it’s not donning a mantle or having a program, it’s how one behaves in a crisis.”
— Frank Auerbach
