The true work of art is but a shadow of the divine perfection.
--- Michelangelo ---
Something about this quote just sings to me - aren't the words so beautifully put together? Obviously, like with any quote, there are multiple interpretations to what each person was thinking when they made their statements and 'quotes' - but to me, this quote honors the fact that we are all artists - and in all that we create or design, the products are but a shadow of our own perfection that we have within us. I think this means we all have the ability to translate divine perfection, however you choose to define what divine perfection might mean. Expressing ourselves is living the life we are meant to live; and artistry through words, images, sounds, tastes, etc., allows us to begin to share who we really are - images of divine perfection.
