Although the creative impulse surges in revolt against everyday
reality, breaking through its confines, it makes pacts with that
reality’s essential laws and returns to it to modulate its sense.
In fact, it is through praxis that imagination and artistic
inventiveness transmute the vital concerns of life, giving them
human measure. But at the same time art’s inspiration imbues life
with aesthetic sense, which lifts human experience to the
spiritual. Within these two perspectives art launches messages of
specifically human inner propulsions, strivings, ideals, nostalgia,
yearnings prosaic and poetic, profane and sacral, practical and
ideal, while standing at the fragile borderline of everydayness and
imaginative adventure. Art’s creative perduring constructs are
intentional marks of the aesthetic significance attributed to the
flux of human life and reflect the human quest for repose. They
mediate communication and participation in spirit and sustain the
relative continuity of culture and history.
