Art
From the very beginning, art and creativity have played a fundamental role in the community. Whether because of their training prior to entering the community or their personal background, some brothers have developed a personal artistic practice. This practice takes many different forms, but generally involves small- or medium-sized two-dimensional visual works on paper, cardboard, or canvas. The brothers make use of various painting and drawing techniques, but they also create collages with different materials and graphic works.

The themes and their formulation can vary greatly; the Bible is often a subject of inspiration, as well as the nature around Taizé and the personal experiences of each brother. The community life of the brothers is also a great source of inspiration for the artistic expression which, although it begins with the personal search of each brother, is always called to become part of a common creation.
