We live in a time of unprecedented global culture. From Cave Art to the latest in contemporary art fashion, artists have access to the vast legacy of visual art. The art of every continent has been published in some form. Without too much effort the strange gods of all cultures can inhabit our imaginations, simply by viewing their images in museums, books and magazines. What lessons can we derive from this unique perspective? Lesson number one is that for nearly every culture, art has been a spiritual and unifying force in the human community.
Artists at the dawn of the 21st Century have the unique opportunity to create a universal spiritual art. This art will be born from visions of the unity of all mystic paths and the re-emergence of sacred archetypes in the collective unconscious. The spirit of the times will choose artists sufficiently prepared for this task. The challenge to an artist today is integrating the vast visual legacy of human culture with their own deepest and highest personal insights, distilling that into works of art and making a living at it.
