The whole point of art
is that it must be beautiful.
If your creation is grotesque,
it must be beautifully grotesque
or what is the point?
No matter the subject,
whether war, slavery,
or the many surgical assaults
my body endured,
within the depiction must shine
a sort of grandeur.
Minus this mitigating factor,
art is reduced to common screaming,
and nobody is entertained
by the crude banalities of life.
Give your art a distinguished voice
that reflects God's own,
whether your subject is the tenderness of love
or the dizzying depths of destruction,
for you are part Creator, and part created.
Therefore, rise above what the eyes can see.
Produce only what the heart can feel.
Then your efforts will call you an artist,
no matter what the world calls you.
