Art and passion 艺术与生命
Not long ago, a friend of mine said I should give up art and refocuses my life on something else. His reason is whatever I am doing now; probably someone else has already done so.
没多久以前,有位友人劝我弃艺而重新整顿我的生活目标。他给于我的原因是不论我怎么的创作,必然有人已捷足先创了。
I do agree with him to some extend. However, art is my passion! Art is in my blood! How could I just drain my own blood and replace them completely? Even if it is possible, it will be too painful for me!
我并不完全同意他的见解。我血里流的是艺术因子,艺术是我生命的一份子。我岂能流清我体内的热血而完全让其他的血在我身上流串?这可是件痛苦的事。
To be able to create art is a gift! I don’t intend to be a great artist! But I do want to be a good artist. An artist who is genuine to himself and his audience. A person who can contribute by creating the wealth of inner soul.
能从事艺术创作是一种天赋。我并没有成伟大艺术家的宏愿,但是我要成为一个好画家。一个忠于自己和群众的艺术家;一个能增潻探索心灵财富的人。
