On the Edge of Philosophical Madness......



Art and emotions go a long way together.....God created all things around us and gave us the power to impersonate his creations. The painter was the first one to find that yes he has the power to create..

But what does he create, the beauties around, the darkness around or his own self....

According to me(all others views are also welcomed), an artist tries to paint his emotions. This is what my intuition says. A nature guy paints mountains and rivers. A theist paints images of God. Modern art I can't understand. But what do the one who wants to paints his emotions paint? I know my intuition is right but how do I explain. At this stage of my life, if someone asks me to paint my emotions what will it be. Will it be a lonely boy?? or certain images??Or will I just create a sketch or fill it with colours?? Will the colours be dark dull or will it be full of brightness??

I thought I could decipher most of the emotions. But what do I say for the the painting above.Is the painter beautiful enough to paint a lonely lady sitting on a wooden chair?? The frock is beautiful white but the backdrop is bright at the left and dark at the right.The painting is bordered with lines but still the colours are just oozing out. Why is the lady looking at her right and not at me???

Will I ever be able to understand the emotions of the paintings I go through in my life.The paintings of love, relationships and friendship...... Are the colours liable to fading??

I hope every painting leaves its most bright and beautiful colour in my life before it begins to fade away with time....

please pardon me for so much of nonsense questioneering...

It would be a lot easier to decipher the meaning and a lot of hidden areas of the paintings, if you knew about the artist who created that piece, which made you think so much.

If not that, its very difficult for an amateur to make out the meanings from deep meaning artistic works.

But, I sure appreciate the effort that you've made to understand all this stuff.
