The Self-Aware Artist Movement

After receiving an art grant for finding a new way of art education had to explore art on another level. I created the "Self-Aware Artist" movement in Laguna Beach in 2014.

With the help of some courageous artists who have since proven the importance of being self-aware, we started a new discourse about art and its functions. 

We ask three questions. Why are we Artists? Why do we do the art we do? How do we do it (actually bring our art into reality?) and being able to verbalize our process. 

Self-Aware Artists create with a new art consciousness. This starts with separating the limitless art system, which wants nothing more than being created and exposed, from the ever dependent economic system which dictates our all values. 

Other key-focuses are 1. Voice (the artist’s creative voice)  2. Higher Aesthetics and  3. Essence of Art (EoA) with its Functions. 

The Essence of Art (EoA) & its Functions To Define Values

The Essence of Art (EoA) is Art/Creativity Unveiled Outside of any Systems. Art as a inherent anf #1 human superpower. It's the source of all human-endeavors. 

EoA is the energy system that drives creation. All that art (as limitless power) requires is to be created and exposed. 

Art as EoA does not have an investment in ownership nor likes, fame and accolades. 

The EoA is deeply connected to all humans. This is that "human muscle" the everyone uses when any kind of solution is needed. 

EoA is Art’s operating system where music, theater, visual arts etc. are similar to various applications. 

Because the art community has never defined its values and function for humanity. it is conscious of its power, thus art has not been updated for centuries . 

The Functions of Art help establish the true value to humans help us to hone our creations. 

The Essence Of Art & Its Functions To 

Define Values

Picasso's famous Voice 

Voice: When you interact with art, it can make you realize there is a complementary spark in you. If you touch this spark with your talent or through your Voice you feel this divinity. 

Every time you focus on that spark through your Voice you realize it and you know that there is a truth and a rightness at play. 

When this divine energy is activated, your authenticity is understood by the audience through your creative Voice.

The artist’s Voice or Creative Voice is the result of exposing the author’s essence mixed with the EoA. 

The Voice acts as the interface from EoA to the artist and reaches across to the audience. The purer (more refined) this mixture is like with Andy Warhol or Frank Sinatra, the stronger and more effective and recognizable is the artist.

Beauty of Higher Aesthetics

Heightened Aesthetics [ɛsˈteːtɪk] is more than just appreciating aesthetics. 

In our search for aesthetics, we usually become aware of our commonly understood

aesthetic patterns that have evolved over

generations of people living with art. 

Heightened Aesthetics allow every more expensive expressions which help grow curiosity that engages audiences.

Heightened Aesthetics gauge the connections between beauty in form and color. We look for additional understanding

in order to discover new aesthetic patterns as a result. Therein where we recognize the newest order via shapes and colors from art and nature. 

What at first seemed to be beautiful random chaos, makes more and more sense (like every other science.) 

Those interested in art’s power keep asking, why is this appealing? In order to appreciate the power of aesthetics, the feeling must be explained and understandable.

This analysis, with its verbal and written

communication helps to deepen our understanding of aesthetics in general.

Becoming aware of aesthetics, this visceral

nurturing of our existence, is its own, never

ending reward. -Michaell.
