Everyone is an Artist !

Though the works here are 2D drawings and paintings I see and understand art in a far wider context that can be traced back to a way seeing and being in the world first and foremost.

There is a similarity here with Joseph Beyers conception of art who saw it not as a luxury object for a gallery, but as a universal human capacity in which human thoughts, feelings, and actions are creative forces that can actively reshape society, making the entire process of living the true work of art. Being an artist does not require painting or sculpting although it can. The way a person lives, makes decisions, and conducts daily life constitutes their creative output. Creativity grants people the power to question old systems, build bridges and create better futures.

E.F Schumacher says it best:

To grow or make some things by myself, for myself: what fun, what exhilaration, what liberation from any feelings of utter dependence on organisations! And indeed perhaps even more : what an education of the real person! To be in touch with the actual processes of creation.

The inborn creativity of people is no mean or accidental thing, neglect or disregard it; and it becomes an inner source of poison. It can destroy you and and all your human relationships; on a mass scale, it can – nay, it inevitably will- destroy society.

Contrarywise nothing can stop the flowering of a society that manages to give free reign to the creativity of its people - all its people. This cannot be ordered and organised from the top. We cannot look to government, AI, but only to ourselves to bring about such a state of affairs. Nor should any one of us go on ''waiting for God''  because Godot never comes.

It is interesting to think of all the gods modern humanity is waiting for:

this or that fantastic technical breakthrough the latest being AI,

colossal new discoveries of oil and gas fields,

automation so that nobody - or hardly anybody will have to lift a finger anymore,

government policy is to solve all problems once and for all:

multinational corporations to make massive investments in the latest and best technology, or simply the next upturn of the economy.

Waiting for Godot is a play by Irish playwright and author Samuel Beckett.

It was written (1948–1949), first published (1952).

In Waiting for Godot, the two main characters, Vladimir (Didi) and Estragon (Gogo), spend their days waiting for someone named Godot, who they believe will provide them with salvation. They pass the time with conversations, physical routines, and philosophical musings, but their hope fades as Godot never arrives.
