Ars
longa vita brevis: Ippocrate
life is short and art takes a long time to learn
Craftsman is a great and happy survivor. Time serves craftsman
both as his favorite tool and his enemy. During a creative process
we experience lack of time and resources. Only the craftsman
is able to invent extraordinary perfections in a limited and
rushed environment. When he dissapears we dont find books or
documents left behind, instead we find clever and capable ideas
brought to life by the inique objects created. The craftsman
of the past exemplify how quality ruled over quantity in comparison
to existing standards.
Since the times of antiquity the craftsman was identified as
the most versatile creative force behind any culture or system.
Profesionalism, solid experience, and artistic talent are the
most important fundamentals that accompany craftsman for centuries.
The stronger these qualities exist the more capable a craftsman
becomes to determine the rhythm and time of his work.
