Art is connected to life and to breath. The word inspiration communicates drawing air into the lungs and is related to the primal breath. From the ancient Greek πνεῦμα (pneuma), the word soul, signifies breath, wind, spirit. Inspiration is a process through which the mystery of life is creatively expressed.
