To Experience an Artist

I think experiencing an artist is better than being an artist.

I mean, when we are with someone who has mastered an art—piece by piece, over years of toil and countless tries. To know their journey, the phases they passed through, and the experiences that shaped them into the artist they have become. And to experience all of it in a person… we come to witness the stories they’ve lived: stories full of love, laughter, heartaches, tears, and every emotion we can name. I mean, how beautiful is it to experience an artist who carries these emotions in the quiet sack of their heart?

That's why I believe—it is better to experience an artist than to be an artist. And art has no boundaries. It flourishes across ages, races, genders, and forms. Art is the most sovereign thing—supreme, independent, self-ruling, and untouched by external control.

If you ever want to experience love, experience the love of an artist—be it a writer, painter, singer, musician, or any soul who creates. They will immortalise you.

A writer will immortalise you in their poems, their letters, and in those lines where their heart silently dances across the page in your name.

A painter will etch you into their canvas with strokes dipped not just in colour but in the red, quiet ache of love flowing through their veins.

And so will all other artists.

To experience an artist is to feel a lived journey embedded inside a human being. And that, in my opinion, is a blessing.

You see, I am a writer. And I can tell you my perspective. If I write for someone—it means I have felt them deeply. I have real concern for them, and they mean something to me. To my being, they stand apart; they are different, important. Or let’s say—summed up—I have a perspective about them that makes me pour my heart out. The same goes for every artist. When you experience them, you will carry something unforgettable. You’ll be immortalised—in a poem, a sketch, a melody, an article, or whatever form their soul chooses.

And that is the quiet miracle of art: that even when moments fade, the memory of how someone made you feel remains, preserved in a form that time cannot erode. To experience an artist is to meet a version of yourself reflected through someone else’s devotion—raw, delicate, and everlasting. And if life ever grants you that chance, treat it gently. Because some blessings come only once, and they arrive wearing the soul of an artist.
