“None can sense more deeply than you, artist, ingenious creators of beauty, something of the pathos with which God, at the dawn of creation, looked upon the work of His hands.”
Pope St. John Paul II, Letter to Artists
"Art is not a luxury, but a necessity of the spirit. It is not an escape, but a responsibility, an invitation to action, a call, a cry,"
"To instruct in beauty is to instruct in hope, and hope is never separated from the drama of existence - it crosses the daily struggle, the fatigue of living, the challenges of our time."
"a universal language that spreads beauty and unites peoples, contributing to bringing harmony into the world and silencing every cry of war."
Pope Francis wrote that artists have a mission to "give voice to the voiceless" and "transform pain into hope."
