Not all about Beauty

For designer, art like a wall painting is more of decoration. But then for artists, art is beyond aesthetics but a voice, a sound, and true sense of expression. The depth of expression is a direct representation of experience, background, and values of the artists. People may see each art differently, but for its creator, lies within is a meaning that only him or her knows.

Fine arts are not always beautiful. Graffiti, nowadays, are heralded to be a brilliant art despite the fact that for others it is still vandalism. Less is the chance that non-artists will find it decorative. For them, this kind is not neat enough to beautify a space. Yet artists will use such to send a message to the public. No matter how messy or ugly this may some for others looking for artworks for sale, for its creators, it is a sound and effective expression which can be personal but more often than not, it is societal. It concerns an issue that affects a portion of humanity, if not the entirety. It is just normal for people to look at wall paintings based on beauty. Our eyes in fact are meant to see beauty. We’d rather see things and situations this way than looking at things as ugly. But then, the continuous changes in fashion or in trend make people see beauty in different ways. This means that an art that was beautiful yesterday can be a piece that is no longer pleasing the eyes today. Yet the expression such art conveys remains the same. Despite that viewers may interpret work differently, for the creator, as aforementioned, such piece was based from a strong and passionate emotion that was felt while the art was being created.

Emotion—this is a crucial factor when creating an art meant to express. Artists need to take a stand to an issue based on what he feels over such. From this, hand will just follow what the heart dictates. And before he knew it, his feeling over such issue is then effectively represented via his artwork for sale. With this, we know that art is not at all beauty which may not be easy for most people to accept. This also becomes a justification why art is not for all. But the challenge then is how to make a non-artist love such piece that is meant to express rather than to decorate because for every artist is a person who does not understand where the art is coming from.
