You will never see the last in creativity…

You can think that you have heard the funniest joke or seen the ultimate on technology, but I don’t think anyone has ever thought they have seen the most unique and/or extravagant form of art ever. And Fabio Viale, a young italian sculptor who works marble like clay, proves it to be true: using marble to create a sculpture of a skull that looks like it was made with styrofoam?

 

Can we think like that in everything we do? I think that is innovation, even though there are hundreds of skull sculptures it is a breadth of fresh air to setup a different approach and make your statement in an individual way.
Makes me think on how this blog can contribute in a different, unique way. It’s a never ending search.

Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes.  Art is knowing which ones to keep.  ~Scott Adams

I am not an artist, at least not one that could live by it.

But I love art, specially for one reason, it liberates. You can take a look at a painting or sculpture and think: what am I supposed to understand from this? And that very thought causes a chain reaction that will send your mind in a journey of discovery.

I am not an artist, but that cannot stop me from trying.

I am a geek, a technological user, maybe I can mix both and something can come out of such hybrid creature.

In this world anyone can try and forget if they don’t like it. When it came to art that might have been a little too expensive since most art requires material. But thanks to Internet (and mostly flash) you can now release your inner Picasso and go about making some art.

Check out the new page, appropriately named art and give it a try. A try to yourself that is, you never know, it may turn out you are an artist after all.
