Quest: Sparks of Creativity

The inspiration for creating art can come from the most unexpected places. After all, art is a creative expression of the human soul and imagination. But why is it then that artists practice endlessly in their quest to create the best works they can? That struggle for perfection is the result of an internal chaos. One that seeks to reflect faithfully that which lives within our emotions, feelings, thoughts and experiences. All it takes to detonate that colorful explosion are a few sparks of creativity.
