"Artists are, above all, men who want to become inhuman."
(Guillaume Apollinaire)
This is a curated exhibition around the themes of creativity, inspiration and the burning desire to communicate. Even if it seems to be about artists alone and the backstage of art creation, this is not its only theme. Art creation is about being in desperate need to express all that is hard to be said verbaly.
Art creation is the imprinting of the inexplicable. And an artist is every one of us who seek ways of describing that which can't be articulated, that which stands out of what is regarded conventionaly human, that which is however the core of human existence.
