They spent years putting the tiniest of details on these works of art. It reminded me of what we try to do with ourselves. We spend years trying to paint our personalities to look a certain way or to carve memories into our souls.

About This Quote

The work of art, even though it is small, can bring out the best qualities in people. It gives each person the chance to show their creativity and their work ethic comes through. Every artist has little ideas that they put into their work. Their idea may be something as simple as a single brush stroke or it could be something as grand as a symphony. The idea does not matter so long as the idea is true to the artist and to the piece of art.
