What is Art?
Art concerns only divine matters and nothing else.
Art is the faculty of cognizing and identifying the true sign of the holy.
Art will replace organized religion and determine people’s interests in experiencing religious feelings through a new type of devotional image.
Art will reestablish a new relation with the magical realm that was abolished by modern rational thought.
Art will bring people back to the mysterious origins of human nature.

What is art doing?
Art mediates the relation between the humans and the divine.
Art is the language to make devotional images that evokes feelings of fear.
The feeling of horror or terror is the most direct way of experiencing the divine.
The art object is a spiritual visual model that is not conducive only to aesthetic feelings. It is a magical-religious object that once it visually interiorized induces the desire for holiness.
The art work is an objective point of departure in the consciousness of the viewer towards the divine experience.
The success of the art work to arouse divine emotions depends only on the mental predisposition of the viewer.

Who is an Artist?
The artist mediates the feeling of divine fear.
Art is the direct means to connect with what is unknown, non-rational and non-sensory.
The artist has a highly endowed nature that awakens lofty a priori cognitions.
Not everybody is an artist.
The artist helps others to experience holy feelings and ascend towards spiritual faith by breaking away from the diurnal experience of the world of phenomena.
