POETRY

The artist name
I have never consciously aimed to be an "artist." if I am one. My focus and my work in my writing and visual arts have been developing within me as time goes by through a set of factors and mainly to my realtion to the arts in general. I don't believe that anybody can decide beforehand to be an artist. At least at this point in time, nobody can decide to become so in this fashion: we may paint, print, draw, take photograps or dance but those are different facts; those are techniques, occupations that may be learned, that may be taught and studied. But one cannot "learn to be an artist" or "create art" as if this were any other type of profession. The occupation "artist" does not exist nor should it exist as such. Art is arrived at for other reasons and using different routes.
