Ogni pensiero vola

“All dreams fly” - "Le dessin d'un enfant c'est un peu de son ame", wrote Eduard Claparéde in 1913. The act of drawing for a child is a need as well as for a prehistoric man who painted on the cavern walls. When we grow up we start straying from our unconscious and everything is reorganized and labelled by our reason thus loosing genuineness. Both children and graffiti writers depict their state of mind, needs, hopes, fear and joy, sometimes even anxiety. Through their drawings they both transform the real world by mastering it. Actually they are the true artists as “they can keep in touch with the childish side of themselves” (Masal Pas Bagdadi).
