Welcome to my portal into the world of art.

From the darkest moments of stone age society to the early 21st century millennial; mankind has always sought to find inspiration in nature and demonstrate an expression of emotion to share ideas and thoughts.

It was 1997 when i first realized what a wonderful world the world of art could be. I bought my first three pieces, oils on canvas, from a mediocre French artist for about 1000 Fr each. Doubtless the pieces were very poor cubist renditions but then again i was moved to think again as the spark lit up in my mind and idea for a quick profit soon came to view before my young and starry eyes. Promptly I snapped up the pieces from the melancholy creator and then carried the pieces unframed in a brown large envelope in the heart of fair Paris. It wasn't too long either before I could find some curious Parisienne hotelier and very quickly I convinced the client to plaster the pieces on the wall for double price! Scratching my head in bemusement I could not help wondering what would move a man's heart to find inspiration from a dull picture i would rather throw out the window! but that's the beauty of art; the subjectivity of emotional responses. If an onlooker can find inspiration in a blob of jelly on a plate cast on a wall and then go on to write a major novel, then art for art's sake, so be it!

This is a  blog all about the world of art and what moves humanity to create and express ideas in any form.
