Art means many things to many people, but despite the diversity of interpretations, we can perhaps agree on one overarching notion: that art is a beacon pulling us out of our mundane existence and guiding us towards greater possibilities and a vision of a better world.

A unique quality of art is also its ability to communicate non-verbally. In this sense, it can act as a call to the mysterious and the imaginative—as a vehicle at the threshold of the unknown. Here, art has the potential to intimate the inner worlds we occupy while grasping the existential threads of our personal and collective continuity.

In ancient times, when one was stirred by something, and it caused an internal response, it held a profound mystery. This agency was believed to originate from a sacred source. As one endeavored to capture and recreate this profound sensation, it was bestowed with a designation: art. The individual who wielded this transformative power became known as the artist. Here, the artist performs a role bridging the world of individual experience with the social construction of reality. Without the artist, without art, visual culture is merely a mechanical function of communication.

Artpyre is a digital publishing platform that explores these qualities of artistic and cultural practices which shape how we think and live—inwardly and outwardly. Its focus is the imaginative, the aesthetic, and the creation of new possible worlds. Its mission is to cultivate a reflective and forward-thinking environment where artistic creativity, culture, and industry go hand in hand; through writing, conversation, and discourse. To see, feel, listen, and create with intent and reciprocity.
