ars vitae Collage

"Even life as a work of art can survive death if others continue what a person has set an example with his life." (Wilhelm Schmid, German philosopher) "This is the only way, according to 'Seneca' (Roman philosopher), to extend the limits of your mortality, even to transform it into immortality." "The art of living makes the short life more livable, more affirmative!" (Seneca, Roman philosopher) "To focus on what I can influence instead of wasting my energies pointlessly fighting something that cannot be changed, such as the behavior of others, past events and idiosyncrasies of life, such as its finitude." Wilhelm Schmid, German philosopher For me, these words and thoughts mean the art of living. My deceased son Michael showed me this form of the good life - unfortunately only for a very short time. His life in this world lasted 23 years - but what is time and years in relation to a great person who will always be there - just in another form of energy - because you will never forget him. I try to improve myself every day through constant practice. That makes sense to me and it has a value that endures and outlasts a lot. I tried to express all of that with this collage. Thank you very much for your precious attention to my description! My artwork will be signed on the back! your Frida!
