Looking beyond the physical attraction.
This topic has brought back one experience I had with my cousin; there was a paint and sip event we'd been anticipating for a while, so when the event finally happened, we were very excited and had to go gain the experience.
The place looks more like an art gallery, cause the moment we stepped our feet into the door, the first things that our eyes behold were the amazing paintings on the wall "I couldn't get my eyes off them" but stood there like a statue and stare for a while before moving further to the next activity.
Then the host of the paint and sip approached us and introduced herself to us, "Yeah, a female artist." She took us on a tour around the gallery and showed us incredible artwork by different people. The one thing I noticed she did was take us to the paintings and tell the story behind them. Every artwork in that building conveys a story ranging from cultural practices to historical backgrounds, "There is a reason for everything."
There is a reason why an artist would want to paint a flower, the artist has the veto power to decide on the color to use for the flower "That's why flowers have different colors" The artist has a reason why he is going for that particular shade of flower, there are different patterns to painting a flower but why this particular one? "there is a reason attached to it" I know some persons are likely to say "I just want it to be pretty" now that isn't a bad reason but then it goes beyond that "there is more to it than what we think".
Imagine I come out here and decide to paint a human, and after the whole work is done, my painting comes out looking like a cockroach. "Don't laugh." The outcome of my painting doesn't matter, but what matters is the fact that "I had a reason for my painting". Everyone paints differently and that's what makes it more unique.
Art does have a deeper meaning, art can also be seen as a means of communication; in the olden days, our forefathers drew symbols on the ground to communicate, and that is what is seen as modern "Art" today. Art allows artists to express their emotions and experiences; artworks convey meaning and send a message to their audience, but then not all audiences receive that message.
That's why people and their preferences are different; many audiences seek deeper meaning in art to enhance their experience and boost their understanding of the artworks, while some, on the other hand, just appreciate art for its aesthetic qualities or simply for the enjoyment it brings without seeking deeper meaning.
I feel like, in all, it boils down to human preference. I love art. I love it for different reasons, and I fall under the category that seeks deeper meaning in art to clear my curiosity about paintings I find interesting but then not all artwork holds a meaning.
In Conclusion I feel like every artwork holds a deeper meaning to the person who created it.
Thanks for reading 🧡
I agree with your point, all artists have different characteristics and characters, so there are all kinds of works created by talented artists, while the artists paint clearly they always communicate with their own tools and soul, you can see for yourself with the same type of painting but with different meanings and colors, that's why these artists can be said to be great people.
Yeah. Thanks for the explanation, different artists with their perspective of things, and how they tend to put their work.
Yeah, even if others might not find a meaning to an art work, the person who created it definitely had a reason why the did.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us. 🥰
Yeah! The creator will always have a meaning for its creation.
Thanks for stopping by.
It’s my pleasure, dear. 🥰
That's for a fact with artworks.
It's never a fluke for artists, they think deep about what they want the world to see and even along the line, they still modify their thoughts to finally arrive at what they present and hearing the stories behind each and every of them always makes you connect deeper.
Indeed, there's more to what meets the eyes like you captioned... Great writeup
Yeah, and they see beyond the physical; their level of creativity is top-notch, none that can be taken for granted.
Thanks for stopping by my post
You're welcome
Art works does have a deep meaning to the creator, it just you , who see it with out asking question doesn't know the meaning behind the art.
Yeah! Arts do have meaning. And some people have to see the meaning in art.
