Art is action. It’s the act of bringing the ideas in your head to life—raw, unfiltered, and alive. It’s the fire in the fingertips of a guitarist, the stillness of an actor before “Action,” the rhythm of a runner chasing their breath. Art doesn’t ask for permission. It doesn’t explain itself. It just is.
For me, art is the cut and the cure, the bruise and the balm. It’s the dirt under the nails of creation, the way we claw meaning out of the madness. It’s the fight, the prayer, the laugh in the dark. It’s not one thing—it’s everything.
Through LJV Art, I honour life by creating—whether it’s writing, making videos, building my brand LTS (Life’s Too Short - Live to SOAR), or simply showing up as a father and my most authentic self. This site is a central hub for my projects, a place where I share my work and invite others to join me in the pursuit of something sincere, purposeful, and real.
Art is the act of chasing potential, of leaving something honest behind. Imperfect, challenging, and full of spirit.
“Art is the uniting of the subjective with the objective, of nature with reason, of the unconscious with the conscious, and therefore art is the highest means of knowledge.”
-Leo Tolstoy
