Art is a spiritual practice that you are conscious of it or not. I don't think i will paint if it was not link to spirituality.

But as said Meher Baba:
"To penetrate into the essence of all being and significance, and to release the fragrance of that inner attainment for the guidance and benefit of others, by expressing in the world of forms truth, love, purity and beauty — this is the sole game which has any intrinsic and absolute worth.
All other happenings, incidents and attainments in themselves can have no lasting importance.
— Meher Baba

also He said"
"Art, when inspired with love, leads to higher realms. Love art, and that art will open for you the inner life. - Meher Baba

So you are on your way.....
