Hippocrates, the ancient Greek physician, once famously said, "Art is long, life is short." This profound statement speaks not only to the enduring nature of art but also to the transient nature of human life.
At its core, the phrase highlights the immense value and lasting impact of artistic endeavors. While our lives are fleeting, the work we create has the power to transcend time, offering wisdom, beauty, and inspiration for generations to come.
Pursuing your art is an act of defiance against life's brevity.
Hippocrates' words remind us while life may be short, the art we leave behind can continue to inspire, heal, and move others, ensuring that our efforts are never truly wasted. In the end, it is through our art that we achieve immortality—one masterpiece at a time.
