Coltivare la creatività è il regalo più grande che possiamo farci in quanto l'arte, intesa come linguaggio universale, può essere trovata in ogni aspetto del quotidiano e dona delicatamente un senso alla nostra esistenza.

Più alleniamo i sensi, attraverso la fantasia, più entriamo in sincronia con la magia che ci circonda permettendo ai nostri orizzonti di espandersi e ai nostri talenti di sbocciare.
