One of the main characteristics of our time is... confusion. Our time offer so many stimuli, so many objects of desire... We are confronted with choices all the time. And many times we choose things, objects, even thoughts that don't bring true happiness into our lives; rather, they bring... confusion.

We need more silence in this world. We need clarity and focus. At least I need all this. That is what I think (but I'm not a moralist at all).

It is a truism: The more we are focused on something for a long period, the more that "something" grows in our life. Our time is the most precious resource we have. We can waste it lacking focus on what matters the most: our happiness, our loved ones, our generosity toward others. Well, we have here an important choice to make, and an important one. Because too often, as I said earlier, we choose to have experiences that only add... confusion.

In this context, what is the function of art? Art always has been the realm of beauty and freedom. There are infinite ways for an artist to express his genius.

Some artists may think that art must reflect in some way the spirit of our time. So, many expressions or art are adding even more confusion to our lives, or perhaps in some cases are offering an opportunity to reflect on the true nature of our reality.

Particularly, I dream of an art that has the courage to imagine a future of peace and meditation, a future of silence and concentration, a future where all of us are aware of the importance of a life without so many distractions.
