Churches, Religion and the Artist: What is your perspective?

In terms of "gitting gud" I like the tree of life because each sphere represents some attribute, like mercy, perseverance, love, hate, wisdom, understanding etc
i think in order to be a good artist one must posses the technical training, but also lead an interesting life. This is a lot to ask of a person, especially with how intensive one can be in technical training.
Which is why i think it is good for the otherwise chaotic creative to allow himself some order, some guide, submission to a religion if only so he can be enabled an interesting life without having to detract from his studies. We as artists create, in some sense we are like god.
So i think it is good to have religion to better understand yourself and your creations from the perspective of creator, and as a mortal, using some systemic means.
For me Zen and Kabbalah primarily dictate my artistic direction.
I am also culturally Russian, so i have a of interest in orthodox Russian iconography. I was raised Atheist and never went to church and didn't have much interest in religion until i studied philosophy in college.
For those of you who went to church when you were young, what was your upbringing like, wanting to be an artist? do you relate god, the church and art?

The tree of life shows the emanation of reality from God, you stupid faggot.

The jews rejected the logus when crucifying Jesus, so any art made by heeb principles after circa 37 after Our lord will only be usefull for demonic stuff like fetish art and mario parodys

this thread isn't even /ic/ at all. There is literally nothing about the mechanics of art here. This is /pol/.

I don't think most people here will find any of this useful... yet. The majority of people on this board are pretty early in their stages of getting gud. If you take any craft seriously and dedicate your life to it, it will lead you to intense introspection and self discovery, and seeking spirituality is a perfect outlet for this. When you work as something that intensely you grow and mature alongside your craft. In order to keep improving you need to improve yourself. When you do something long enough and get good enough at it you begin to question your purpose in life and if you really want to help others you'll realize you have a skill that can potentially make you very capable of this.
There are amazing artists that never question anything beyond themselves but if you're a truly curious person you will take the steps to learn about yourself, your place in the universe and how to git really gud. It depends on where and why you're creating.
Again, I don't think most people hear will get much from this yet, it's around 7-10 years into a craft that it can lead you down a spiritual path. But if in the future you see that possibility, it is worth it to go down that rabbit hole.

Check out "Concerning the Spiritual in Art" - Wassily Kandinski
"The Great Liberation by Hearing", as well as it's modern interpretation in the context of the drug LSD, "The Psychedelic Experience" may also prove interesting to you.
