Life as a Work of Art
by Wanda Veloz
We often see life as a chain of events: as something
fortuitous, unpredictable, that is beyond our control.
Deepening these ideas would take us along paths
that require a lot of time and space.
However today, beyond what everyone might think
of life, and inspired by the article and the young
talent that I present to you this month, I want to take
you to a slightly different reflection: to see life as a
work of art .
And why not? Each life is so unique, composed of
different nuances, that we could compare it with the
work of an artist. And of course, every being that
lives it is the Great Artist of its Life.
Each one chooses what they want to paint on any
day: will this be a positive day, good, of a lot to do; or
maybe it could be a complicated day, or one that you
did not want to arrive for any reason.
Each emotion, each intention, each visualization is a
brushstroke that you choose to give; each one of a
specific color. If you choose passion or love, you will
be giving a red brush stroke to your work. If you
exude optimism, purity, cleanliness, then you will be
coloring with white. Joy, happiness, fun, sponta-
neous, innovative. Then Yellow colors your life. Do
you choose to embrace hope? Then you will give
brush strokes of green. Maybe you are in a moment
of silence, or you feel mysterious, powerful ... maybe
even sad or discouraged. Then, it is clear that your
brush strokes will be black. Harmony. Blue. Grati-
tude. Pink.
This is how every moment of your life you become
the Artist of your Great Work. And of course, since
you are not an isolated being, you give brushstrokes
to the lives of others too.
Then now I ask you: what have you painted today?
What have you created? What do you want to
create? The wonderful thing about being an Artist of
Life is that your work is in constant movement. You
didn’t like what you painted yesterday. Change your
intention today, and create something better.
Since we’re already immersed in this artistic wave,
I’ll present to you a young Dominican talent, Luis
Andrés Pérez, who tells us his moving and inspiring
story, and gives us the details of his project D' Perez
Art, with which he brings joy, creativity and art to
everyone with whom he comes in contact with.
