Art that carries a message of hope for the future

Art has an important role in our society for reflecting the nature of our society as well as the beauty and ugliness we find in nature and our surroundings.

Many famous artworks are those that carry a new message which is controversial for its time and the artist is usually highly criticised and condemed by the popular art movenment at the time. The reason this art becomes famous is that it opens new ways of thinking within the maner that art is created and also with how we see the world.

I believe that as artists we should aspire to create art that carries a deeper message about our lives, our society and our understanding of nature. We should not mearly create beautiful or ugly pictures but we should be conscious of how those pictures will affect the viewer. There is so much trouble and suffering in the world today. So much about our global society seems to be getting worse as we continue down this path of capitalistic expansion, ruled by a false deocratic leadership.

Greed and corruption rule from the poorest to the richest countries, although the manner which this manifests is not always clear.There is still much goodnes in the world and humanity has a chance to enter a brighter future and reverse the enviromental, social and spiritual disease that it is plagued by. This however needs vision.

Art is uniquely able to provide that vision. I encourage the artists reading this to continue to spread a positive message, highlight our shortfalls and different forms of corruption. Most importantly we should seek to expand our vision for the future of humanity, with detail. We need a more clear vision for the future of humanity and our world through your art.
