About this Quote

This quote by Kahlil Gibran talks to the power of art to take us beyond the everyday and the mundane. Art is a way of exploring the unknown, of finding something brand-new and unforeseen. It is a way of discovering the covert depths of the world around us, of uncovering the secrets that lie underneath the surface area. Art is a way of pushing the borders of what is known and accepted, of challenging our presumptions and exploring the unidentified. Art is a method of discovering the tricks of deep space, of discovering the concealed truths that lie underneath the surface. Art is a method of connecting with the divine, of getting in touch with something greater than ourselves. Art is a method of going beyond the mundane and the daily, of discovering something brand-new and unforeseen. Art is a method of pushing the boundaries of what is understood and accepted, of checking out the unidentified and uncovering the mysteries that lie below the surface.
