Which art is more meaningful? The one for millionaires to pay millions of dollars or the one created in the struggle?
For me, the second one is more meaningful, the art created in the struggle. Do I make new things in a wrangle? Undoubtedly, yes, I do. The fact that I work in broadly defined finance 40 or even more hours per week means that everything you see on the www.adammazek.com website, my Dear Friend, appeared in the struggle. It’s a testament to my resilience and determination. Do I know other works that occurred while the creator was in adversity? Yes, of course. Undoubtedly, one of them was Fyodor Dostoyevsky.
Here are some flash facts about the famous Russian writer:
– during his adolescent years, he was sentenced to death;
– shortly before the execution would take place, he was pardoned and sent on exile to the remote nook of Siberia;
– he spent on the expulsion ten years of his life;
– A famous Russian writer was gambling addicted;
– one of his children died at a very young age.
Of course, all of Dostoyevsky’s writings are wise and meaningful. Still, when one considers how many adversities the Russian writer had to overcome in his life, his works become more momentous for me.
I know my hardships may seem funny compared to Dostoyevsky’s misfortunes.
Yet, it is in the face of these challenges that I find the motivation to create. No one will tell me I do it effortlessly. Of course, everything I write here does not mean that artworks cannot be simultaneously meaningful and worth millions of dollars. Still, I do not focus on the money related to art. I wish all artists to sell their works for as much money as they want. At the same time, I will focus on fighting for myself with myself, on my personal growth and artistic expression.
