Linda Naiman Home Page Directory Articles Newsletter Life as a Work of Art by Linda Naiman Art is a creative act, a spiritual journey. It is an expression of the soul. Every artist has something within that calls out to be expressed. There are no rules for answering the needs of the soul. The artist transcends convention and the result is always beautiful.
Art is an expression of our innate creativity, which is the language of the soul.
The ultimate creativity comes from the energy of love and wisdom, which some of us call God, the Source, the Absolute, the Creator or the Divine. The ancient yogis said that all forms of creation from energy to gross matter are composed of one substance called the universal creative energy, or Pakritti. All creation thus comes from the absolute, and returns to it in a never-ending cycle We are all part of the universal creative energy, and the glue that holds it all together is love and wisdom. The cycle of birth, growth and dissolution applies to every creative endeavour. When I create, consciously or otherwise, I dissolve old forms and old ideas that no longer serve me.
