Paz Viola's non-representational approach indeed invites a rich tapestry of personal interpretations. By eschewing concrete imagery, he creates a space where viewers can project their own emotions and experiences, fostering a unique dialogue between the artwork and the observer.
"All works are born from the pulsation of inspiration: all images are born from a point and a line." It's like another layer of human thinking, another territory that will suddenly give me a sense of timelessness.
Art is of utmost importance for the world: it is an instrument and an important form of human dialogue. Art is the cornerstone upon which culture is built, and throughout the history of art we see the most significant manifestations of being. Art has transformed, from political and social critique and voice of advocacy to a more universal, spiritual and cosmic expression.
