Today, in a miserable era of decline, where the ruthless global usury system controls everything through the golden boys of the stock markets, Art has become a harsh commercial transaction, a mechanism of mind manipulation, a sick and vulgar process of abusing the beautiful, which promotes the aesthetics of trash, where "...malice, deceit prevail and drown virtue and value," as Michelangelo wrote.

Most contemporary artists see their work as a potentially profitable art enterprise, operating according to the relentless laws of the market and marketing. They regard their studio as an autonomous production unit, galleries as shops, art critics as brokers, curators as promoters, collectors as investors, museums as demanding clients, celebrities as bait, the media as hucksters, and the public as a easily manipulated consumer mass controlled by the global traffickers of black money.
