What is art about?

Art is one of those things that one simply cannot define within the scarce limits of one sentence, but we can surely talk a lot about it and view it through various angles with one purpose in mind – to understand why we create art in the first place and why it has the power to become the strongest silver lining that appears on our otherwise mundane sky.

Sometimes it seems as if our bodies, minds are hearts – the creators of art, are mere mediums of the signals of the universe that need to be reflected in an earthy form, should it be a song, fine art, a poem, a sculpture or another presentation that would be a complete novelty. Whatever the kind of art, it always represent a confession on the part of the artist, a statement made to be seen, heard, felt and possibly understood.

It has been said that the real purpose of life is to get as close as we can to other people, and what else provides a higher level of getting up close and personal with someone than getting in touch with their love, lust, hatred, fear, pain and agony – so well expressed through the ever mysterious language of art.

Artists understand these things better than the rest of the world and they are able to read between the lines of other people's artistic expression, however, it doesn't have to mean that people who are unable to create art themselves are not able to fully appreciate its existence and reach the understanding needed for complete enjoyment.

Therefore it is of utmost importance to become familiar with the artists' vision when deciding to buy art Australia. Owning something that you don't fully grasp can also leave room for the imagination to flourish and you can create your own point of view. This is especially true when it comes to fine art which is created with the option of multiple interpretations in mind.

Some forms of art are very easy to be described and classified, for instance, impressionism is all about colors, warmth and exaggeration of what was perceived. Jazz music on the other hand, comes to life distinctively whenever different ears hear it. With so much freedom, yet quite great amount of restriction of form, each instrument takes its own turn to tell the story and it is always different, always so incomprehensibly short of categorization.

Whether you decide to pursue the meaning of what you are to call your new piece of treasured art, or you plan to let your inner guide find a way around it, always bear in mind that when you buy art Australia it should be something that touches you in a more or less inexplicable way.
