The poet beautifully describes my experience as a painter:

Art liberates and purifies, and its tokens are those short moments when we look at a beautiful [painting] forgetting about ourselves, when everything that concerns us disappears, is dissolved, and it does not matter whether the eye that looks is a beggar or a king.  --Czeslaw Milosz
