a reflection of the arts and the role of the arts in life.\u00a0\u00a0 We create art to give views to the world of what life is and what life can be.\u00a0\u00a0 Art is the constant that has sustained the world in good and bad times.\u00a0 It is the artist who points out the fragilities of life and suggests the solutions.\u00a0\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this particular
