A  true artist cannot confuse a real profession with a pseudo one.

The pseudo-artist deceives himself and wants to deceive others, giving away art which is not art at all.

A real profession is one's occasion, inspiration; it is to be able to influence others  in finding their own individual style.

And all this... is art,... that  technical mastery that

only a true artist knows how to reveal.

"These would be only beautiful words, if not accompanied by facts!"   Vincent Nicolosi
