Art and Labor by Lazarita Betancourt

Posted on June 16, 2008

To all those of you out there I would like to say that I believe that “Art is the labor of love in the making” And no matter who we are or where we are we should all take note that to show our art to the world on the internet is the best thing to happen. Me, I live in this fantasy world it makes me forget about the hardships, agony and pain that sometimes life gives us. Art is a catharsis whether you paint, draw, write or compose music. I guess when we are really good at it is when the catharsis evokes out great emotional pain from deep within the heart of our soul. Like Picasso he never stopped until the very end.
Great to be among so many fellow artist here in RB I really like this show.

    hear hear!! agreed wholeheartedly cuba!
    i use my art to escape the pain i live in 95% of the time from breaking my back in 5 places, the pain will never leave me so i have to find an escape other than drowning my senses with medication or other substances.

    I use my art to drive my focus through the pain. I miss painting and sculpting, the last sculpture i did i worked lying down, or strapped up in a corset on painkillers all the time. I succeeded but it was very hard.

    I had to find a new medium, so now through my productions and art direction i can see the results of the imagery that is in my mind through the images that are produced as a result.

    that makes me so happy, so as i recover for the next week or 2 the images make the pain worth while. It also makes me really precious about my time and my energy, so when i am up and working i want the images to be……..as outstanding as possible.
