An artist approaching the bare canvas for therapeutic reasons also has a goal in mind. In this case, the goal is dictated by his mind. Whatever colors he chooses to apply, whatever forms emerge from the sculptor's material, are for the sake of healing. The artwork itself is not the goal, but the recovery of the person. They all have nothing to do with art.
Art has a single goal - itself.
Art is meaningless play with shapes and colors as artistic creation, with words and letters as poetry. A true artist is distinguished by his willingness to subordinate his own issues to those of the image. If outer or inner objectives are set prior to the creative process, the art becomes ancillary to these purposes - the artist loses the ability to paint freely. The result is no longer art, but artistic craft or a therapeutic interpretation grid. Art must be senseless, unreasonable, playful.
