In a deeper sense than typically perceived, religion encompasses the spiritual manifestation of our personality. Art, although supportive of religion, differs in spiritual expression by avoiding material forms. Art embodies creative activity expressed through sensory forms, engrossing the inner self in emotional elation. The subject of representation varies from landscapes to emotional complexities, with the sensory elements evolving from the spontaneous and joyful flow of the creative mind.
