# About me

"We are here for the Earth.
We are here for life.
We are here to be cosmically intelligent."

Polarity of techniques and art in the 21st century requires a change. Qualitative change is needed in society as a whole, moreover, it is urgent more than ever. Artists, therefore, as messengers of truth in today's world, show that man can not live without hope - the essential structure of the human being. The artist is not at peace with the world as it is, but always tends to a higher form. Humanity is a duty and in the utopian content and faith in possibility of this world becoming more human is hidden that which is eternal and worth - Art.

"There are others than yourself
who unknown to you live your life
(...)
I live and die in all of them
I namelessly persevere in brothers"

-Tin Ujević

___________

Halil Džubran: "Master, if he is indeed wise does not offer you to come to the house of his wisdom but rather leads you to the threshold of your spirit ... For the vision of one man does not borrow its wings to another man."

Voltaire: "Burn your laws and create new", "How to take new?", "From the mind!"

Jiddu Krishnamurti:

"It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society."

"Die to everything of yesterday so that your mind is always fresh, always young, innocent, full of vigor and passion."

"When you call yourself an Indian or a Muslim or a Christian or a European or anything else, you are being violent. Do you see why it is violent? Because you are separating yourself from the rest of mankind. When you separate yourself by belief, by nationality, by tradition, it breeds violence."

"Truth, being limitless, unconditioned, unapproachable by any path whatsoever, cannot be organized; nor should any organization be formed to lead or to coerce people along any particular path. If you first understand that, then you will see how impossible it is to organize a belief."

"When you draw or paint a tree, you do not imitate the tree; you do not copy it exactly as it is, which would be mere photography. To be free to paint a tree or a flower or a sunset, you have to feel what it conveys to you: the significance, the meaning of it."

"Truth is a pathless land."

"A consistent thinker is a thoughtless person, because he conforms to a pattern; he repeats phrases and thinks in a groove."

"Meditation is a state of mind which looks at everything with complete attention, totally, not just parts of it. And no one can teach you how to be attentive. If any system teaches you how to be attentive, then you are attentive to the system, and that is not attention."

"I don't mind what happens. That is the essence of inner freedom. It is a timeless spiritual truth: release attachment to outcomes, deep inside yourself, you'll feel good no matter what."

"To understand the present with its full, rich significance, the mind must free itself from the habit of self-protecting acquisition; when it is utterly naked, then there is immortality."

"Freedom and love go together. Love is not a reaction. If I love you because you love me, that is mere trade, a thing to be bought in the market; it is not love. To love is not to ask anything in return, not even to feel that you are giving something- and it is only such love that can know freedom."

"Society is the product of relationship, of yours and mine together. If we change in our relationship, society changes."

"The more you know yourself, the more clarity there is. Self-knowledge has no end - you don't come to an achievement, you don't come to a conclusion. It is an endless river."
