Simplified Meaning:

Creating art means focusing only on what truly matters and removing anything that doesn't add to its value. Think about cleaning your room. You get rid of useless clutter to make the space more beautiful and functional. In the same way, an artist takes out extra details that don't serve the purpose of the artwork, so the main idea stands out more clearly. For example, imagine writing a story: instead of adding lots of confusing side plots, stick to the main storyline to keep readers engaged and the message clear. This way, the story becomes stronger and more impactful. Applying this idea to life, try to focus on what truly makes you happy and remove distractions or unnecessary tasks. This helps you lead a simpler, more fulfilling life.
