“Less is more” ~ Ancient Greek proverb
“There is great beauty in simplicity” ~ Mirra Alfassa
Living in the world today can be complicated and overwhelming. We are inundated with a myriad of stresses, diversions, stimuli and expectations to our physical and mental well being. I’ve learned that simplifying things can provide a sense of freedom and balance. I believe that more isn’t always better. Sometimes it’s just more.
Particularly for my work I have tried to keep things simple, both in my approach and vision—to eliminate superfluous, distracting elements and capture the essence of my experience. In doing so I have found I can concentrate more on what’s important to me and have a finer focus and direction, both in creating my art and in living my life.
“Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication” ~ Leonardo da Vinci
“Simplicity is the glory of expression” ~ Walt Whitman
“Art is the elimination of the unnecessary” Pablo Picasso
“Simplicity is about subtracting the obvious and adding the meaningful” John Maeda
David, to concentrate on what is most important in life is indeed the most important daily excersize we can do. Your photos show a deep sense of simplicity, they are beautiful, meditative and help me concentrate on the fragile, simplicity of daily life. What is really important!!!!!!!!! Thank you
