"Art has played a vital role in my life since my childhood. Our mother inculcated an appreciation for arts and culture in my sister and me from an early age, and I have followed her example with my two children. Art is part of our cultural patrimony and a testament to our human experience; it encourages lifelong learning and rewards curiosity. Art precedes socio-political movements and serves as a historical record of our successes and failures."
