Why We Create - Growing Through Art

It’s one of those mysterious and beautiful things we do not out of necessity, but out of a deep inner pull. We make art not just to express ourselves, but to feed a part of us that hungers for more than survival. Art is one of those things we do so our spirits may grow.

Think about the last time a painting, a song, a poem, or even a film stirred something in you—something you couldn't quite explain. That flutter in your chest, the sudden sting of tears, the quiet smile forming on your lips—those moments are your spirit responding. Art does that. It wakes us up.

We create and engage with art to make sense of joy and grief, to capture beauty, to process chaos. From ancient cave paintings to modern digital creations, humans have always made art. It’s a throughline across cultures and eras, because no matter where you are or when you live, the soul still needs to breathe.

Art teaches us empathy. When we see the world through someone else’s brushstroke or hear it through their melody, we learn something about them—and maybe about ourselves. It opens us up. It softens the hardened edges of our everyday routine and gives us space to feel fully, deeply.

And it’s not just for artists. Whether you're sketching, dancing, journaling, or simply enjoying the creativity of others, you're participating in something sacred. You're giving your spirit a place to stretch out and grow.

So in the middle of your busy life, make room for art. Let yourself be moved. Let yourself create without needing a reason. Because in those moments, your spirit rises. And that, in the end, might be one of the most human things of all.
