The artist Domingo started out by writing the title of the talk on the canvas which he than continues doing in every story he starts to talk about which is allowing him to record everything throughout one piece. At some point he ask the viewer to close their eyes and imagine them self in the Pre-historic era were the cavemen were using cold blood to paint figures from imagination, exploring different tools/materials and showing a starting way of documentation which is indicating that art started at the beginning of humanity.
He is stating also how in past life Picasso said that in every person their is an artist hidden away waiting to be seen but how are we to keep it safe and pure when we grow and reveal it to the real world?, so by this he is giving other examples like Salvatore Dali that he was kicked out of his country due to the dictatorship and Van Gogh which he cut off his own ear by this he is comparing the artist to himself telling us that he also have his inner demons that hes not pleasant with and he still manages to overtake them by using art which allows him to relax, exploring a new world of your own and make it how beautiful you want.
Showing that something beautiful will manage to change your mood and vibes such how music and food works - by finding your comfort zone and will help you ease the pain away. Related to this example he managed to express himself throughout his personal experience were his son had to go through surgery and had to be kept in hospital and by seeing his boy their helpless left him also helpless without energy to do nothing and all he could do was paint seeing how his boy is going to look or whats hes going to be when he grows up all, all with the help of a positive vibe helped him get through his difficult time and use it as a self therapy.

By this I research that I made throughout these sources I managed to see how they work hand in hand showing how they can all be developed together. In further research, because this subject is still evolving throughout their methods, meaning and practices; new resources could also be found but with what I have found now are a good start in my project and I will be able to show more results in how art can be something useful in everybody’s lifestyle and not just used as a hobby; but will be able to heal, translate and relate.
