What do you think being creative means?
We all carry the spark of creation within us; we just have to search for it and let it flow. Everyone will feel the need to express themselves, always thinking about the common good.
How do you include creativity in your life?
Creativity manifests itself in a range of possibilities at different moments in our lives, especially when we need a path that leads us to personal fulfillment. To do so, we must always act with the thought that, in every act of our lives, we are contributing to finding a path that leads us to that lost unity, the sole purpose of our existence.
What are your thoughts on how your life has influenced your creative imagination, and how your creative imagination has influenced your life?
In my case, it all begins with the simplicity of my thoughts and my attitude toward life, despite the favorable or adverse circumstances that may arise. Furthermore, a deep interest in the mystery of life led me to read philosophers, religions, spiritual movements, and related texts. As long as our thoughts include kindness, humility, generosity, simplicity, and unity (the goal we must achieve), creativity will be present in different ways, manifesting that inner and outer mystery in which we live, and they are not separate from each other.
What, if any, exercises do you do to get into a creative mode?
I believe, in my case, it is always keeping my way of thinking in mind in the daily acts of living. It's as if I had the desire to paint and convey something. I stand in front of the canvas and begin to choose colours, mix them, and place them on the canvas, giving it a certain shape. But all of this happens without prior intellectual reasoning, like thinking I'm going to paint. I don't know. When I feel, when I look at it, that the painting is finished, I stop painting, and after observing it, searching for the name, it emerges on its own. This can happen at the moment or after a short time, but the interpretation I wanted to show, each observer will interpret it in their own way. They ask me what I wanted to interpret. The answer is straightforward, I don't know. Let each person interpret it according to their inner colours and their spiritual development, what they see and feel.
How important do you think creativity is in life?
Each of us brings our own built-in creativity, which encompasses every aspect of our daily lives. Each of us will have the responsibility to direct it toward the common good. We can also take the wrong path and use it for our own benefit and harm others. That is why we must increasingly seek the path of Unity in all our actions in life, trying to overcome the barriers that separate us.
