MOSAIC ART: TOWARDS A PHILOSOPHICAL APPROACH

Philosophy, and art vary primarily according to their subject-matter and also the resources by which they reveal, and express it. In a certain sense, art, like philosophy, reflects veracity in its relation to mankind, and illustrates nature, the spiritual world, and the affairs between individuals and their interaction with the world.

We live not in a primeval pure world, but in a world that is known and has been altered, a world where everything has been given a “human angle”, a world infused with our attitudes towards it, our needs, ideas, aims, ideals, joys and sufferings, a world that is part of the vortex in our existence. However, if we were to remove the “human factor” from the world, the consequences would possibly become inexpressible and tackled by a wasteland of grey infinity.
