Artwork description

“The legend tried to explain the inexplicable. As it came out of a substratum of truth it had in turn to end in the inexplicable” Franz Kafka

The act of creation is eternal. Therefore, it is uncaused, uncreated, beginningless, endless. Without it, men and women are empty things, hollow beings, automatons, at the whim and mercy of the gods.

When we make the choice to create, we are acting with courage, wisdom, beauty, grace. Risking sure suffering for a chance at really living. But that is the struggle that gives the gift great purpose. Creation is there to illuminate what is truest in each and every one of us. If we don’t create, there is no suffering. We stay machines, slaves, but can never become truly free. And that is the truest emptiness of all.

We make the choice in every moment. To steal the spark of possibility from on high, and light the fire of creation, or let the gods keep it, and just be automatons, machines with little freedom, empty minds following directions. That is safer, easier. But it is also failing to live. We can’t find joy

Artist information

His art contains many layers of interpretations and hidden messages for the adverted public to discover.  From being a reflection of his inner turmoil, Erick Sommet’s art has become over the year a social tool for him to question his environment and to make the public see through his eyes by way of mirroring their experience through his own.
