Art can reveal to us a glimpse of something that is beyond this world. A beauty that is impossible to put into words but that can be felt and that renders us speechless and breathless.

That’s what I mean by revelation, the revealing of what is beyond the veil of the material.

Two artworks have in a particularly strong way given me these kind of moments when I saw them in real life:

La Pietà by Michelangelo

and

The Incomplete Truth by Damien Hirst

This feeling can be experienced through meditation, relationships and in the most unexpected situations. But for me, art is a powerful way to give us this otherworldly experience.
