Jahni’s words on
“Art As a
Manifestation”
What is art?
Art is something
that is as alive
as the person
who manifests
it. In doing
what I do I deal
with many
aspects of
myself which
includes the
influence of
everything
around me in
some form or
fashion. The
poet John Dunne
said it best in
that “no man is
an island”
line. What we
see in art is in
society and
life. Art is
the revelation;
a symbolic show
of what may
otherwise go
hidden. In it’s
power it can
heal or destroy,
all depending on
how it’s used.
What is your
Medium?
My medium is
primarily
acrylic paint
slung on canvas
or wall and
charcoal pressed
into paper but
the enabling
factor itself is
creative passion
because if those
things were
taken from me
I’d still create
in some way.
It’s in me to
do, just as the
cricket chirps
or the lion
roars. Over and
beyond all, art
is not so much
as that which we
put on canvas,
paper, film, or
stage as it is
that which we
etch on the
minds of those
we influence. |
