Art is an expression of freedom. “Art is the freedom to focus in and get fascinated and master something that may or may not be useful. The utilitarian aspects of art are not important, but rather the freedom to explore the avenues you want to create art is important. The role of the artist is to put effort into the freedom of expression.”
