Why Do I create art?

I have had such a long journey from trying out countless occupations..I have been a salesman, Researcher, Banker, Run an NGO, Micro Financing and Then now an Artist as someone reminded me that i have to earn the use of the word..But I wonder why has Art become so high Brow..

I use currently Photography to express and communicate my thoughts..I want to create for the simple reason that I find that we sometimess overlook the essense in creation, they mystery as to what is this universe ..Is there a texture and feeling to our landscape of emotions..When we feel Sad do we actually use our visual senses to really see that emotion of sadness..I feel all our emotions have a texture...Desolation, Happiness..

I wanted to create through my art the magic and Mystery that exists in our world, far from reality that itself can be created from a place of almost magic like understanding...

I feel "life" is so heavy a word..but it does have a visual quality to it...thru its many symbols and the journey itself...
