Free Art

Art should have no rule strangling it. Already in the 19th century artists started to get rid of all the norms corseting Art, giving way to a “free art” which was expressed with a language of its own.

This small preamble does not have the intention of giving an opinion on the evolution of art in the last centuries but it is my starting point to recall us, artists, that we must be aware and awake; and that we must not let ourselves be misled by the “sirens’ chant” and the “art market” of those greedy merchants who want to dictate “already abolished” norms in what “they” call current avant-garde trends.

We artist must not fall in the trap depriving us from freedom and we must follow the way, our way, the one we have laid out in the process of creation, with our language… our own, the one each one has to express himself. There are no obstacles in art. Each artist can and must, with his language, express his feelings, his claims, his love… in the end, whatever he wants, with the freedom art provides.
