The manifesto
of the artist
The manifesto of the artist Petra Rubar:
1. The LIFE of the artist = the manifesto of the artist.
2. PROVOCATION for more freedom. The destroying "framework of mentality" or "mental boxes", enemies of happy humanity, is the main mission of art. Artist provokes himself. The artist takes life as experiment.
3. The POWER without a fight. The power of non-resistance. Loving suffering is able to be happy always. Suffering brings change. Change of world view on higher level.
4. Masterpiece - is Sex without sex. (The concept of the true NATURE of the passion that has always moved human progress.)
5. SENSUALITY is not just about naked and uncovered.
6. PERFECTION is not just about control…
7. The real fource and deepness in POSITIVITY. And negativity is just an easiest way to make an artwork deeper than a peace of sheet.
8. Life is too short to make small boring artworks. Real art is as big as QUESTION. The HONESTY is a power of art.
10. Anatomy of human and nature is the crown of BEAUTY. Because it is GOD.
12. The Power of NOW - only the one true force we have. Past & future is a road consist of moments of now.
13. PASSION = fire. Opposites reinforce each other. Opposites create harmony, unity and struggle.
14. The kingdom of GOD is within us. Love is unconditional. Free will & non-violence - it's the law.
15. LACONICISM - brother of talent. The truth is in SIMPLICITY.
16. Fear - destroys, LOVE - builds. All other truth - only derived from this.
17. PERFECTION - everywhere. Perfection is - always. Perfection is - in every way. This world view makes a person an artist! If eyes of the artist look at it - it's perfection.
18. But presume you are perfect (completed) - means to kill yourself. Because life - the endless self-perfection process.
19. Non half-measure. Only max extremeness. The artist always gives more than receives.
20. The artist regularly subjected to questioning reality. Because INSPIRATION is nowhere, but inside of identity of personality.
