Here again I wish for imaginations to be inspired into action. I love seeing in my mind’s eye the giant arcs of paint cutting through the sky before meeting their target as the dancing warrior launches himself with masterful courage at his canvas time and time again. Nothing else matters. The mess, the judgement or expectations are all irrelevant. All that matters is creating. This image captures the moment of stillness after the storm. Whatever was created is exposed completely to the world and I hoped to capture in the body of the samurai that no opinion matters to him. Not even his own. The only goal was to unleash creativity. – Craig Martin, Artist
