I really like Ferreira Gullar’s ​​phrase that says: “Art exists because life is not enough.”. And that's right, "art exists because life is not enough".
There are moments in our lives when only art frees us from the weight of conscience and the pain of existence.
For example, when we are sad, missing someone and listening to a romantic song, that song usually has the power to heal our soul.
It is interesting to say that there is no better or worse, superior or inferior art, because all art is a form of elevation of the human spirit.
In writing a love letter, for example, the writer approaches absent love.
The poet synthesizes all his feelings in rhyme and prose, making life sad or happy, but always romantic.
In the eyes of landscape designers, fields, rivers, cities, rural or urban environments are never the same as the gaze of an inattentive passerby.
Stones, marbles, woods etc. come to life on the sculptor's hammer, while engineers and stonemasons build beautiful homes with sand, iron and cement. Art is really a means of human transformation!
Dancing makes the human body healthier. Sport takes the athlete, the sportsman, to the conquest of the Olympic medal, of obtaining eternal glory…
Through art, we are able to express feelings that imprison us. Only art frees us from the prison of the mind, feelings, desires...
Through art, everything is possible, because dreams come true, justice happens, people fraternize, love is practiced...
It is worth mentioning that every form of art is a form of human liberation. Whether for the art of fishing or the simplest prayer.
Finally, let us not forget what the poet from Maranhão said: “Art exists because life is not enough.”. Only artists are free.
And who are the artists? It is all of us, men and women who seek a better world, one that is fraternal, fair and beautiful for all.
Art, whatever it is, makes us better human beings. Art enhances the person, makes us free beings.
Art is as necessary as the air we breathe. Without art, we would be any animal and we would not be what we are, homo sapiens.
There is no wisdom outside of the arts. Art concentrates every form of human knowledge. In fact, living is really the art of the arts.
Being true, sincere, ethical, fair, beautiful means possessing the authentic values ​​of human art. To live well and in peace is the best of all the arts.

That's why the group Titãs is right, who sang: “We don't just want food, we want food, fun and art”.
Every form of human art must serve to free the human spirit from selfishness and materialism.
Finally, art is the most palpable way of connecting with the Transcendent, with the Beyond, with the Divine, with the Master, with God…
