PERFECTION AND MASTERY IN ART

Spanish artist (surrealist) Salvador Dali once said “Have no fear of perfection, you will never reach it.”

What do we term as perfection when we create? What do we idealise and why do we feel one thing is perfect but another isn’t? Why is it that there is a fleeting cloud of pressure to question whether this or that is perfect and term perfection as mastery? Is perfection really attaining mastery? Can the same tricks of the trade work repeatedly when the nature of creating itself fundamentally varies every single time. Why is perfection so wanted as a result more than working for a hundred percent effort put in in the journey being priority? Often, what we fear is what we must do with most amounts of dedication and courage. Otherwise, what we are scared of never leaves. What we construe as attaining mastery is never necessarily perfection. It is just the magic of a creative brain being organic and true to its craft which creates all the genius, memorable experiences that it does.

Well what we need to remember is that notions of the perfect, notions of mastery, definitions of legends and legacies, are all different to each person. Whether creators or viewers. There can be multiple ramifications to how one perceives which owrks are masterperices, likes, dislikes, appreciation  and criticism. This is why maybe Dali here says that one shoudln’t fear perfection as one will never reach it due to an absence of an objective definition or quantitative definitivity if what is perfection or mastery. Even with one’s own evolving sensibiklities and knowledge wqith the passing times, one’s own definition of perfetion, standards and depths in work and craft change therefore changing the ways one looks at Perfection and Mastery.
