intelligent and ignorant in a way.
The new artist will be a painter, photographer, designer, he will do video art, sculptures, installations,
the artist will be a director, curator, a Mediator.
The new artist is a writer, a poet. He will explore the nights and stars; he will get closer to the sun.
The new artist is a dictator of Subconscious.
The new artist could be an engineer, publisher, lawyer, businessman, dealer, philosopher, a woman,
an inventor, a scientist, a mathematician, he is a magician.
The new artist is unaware, a narcissist, arrogant, politician, crafty, chameleon, practical, autistic,
nomad, naive, meditative, ambivalent, and quiet.
The new artist is much like the old artist's.
The new artist is very sensitive when he wishes to be.
The new artist will have to fight as a reality star, a fragment of the new culture.
The new artist must not be an instant artist.
The new artist must be a dreamer. The new artist must not be afraid to claim and say:
I am the new artist.
