Art is a very complex language, but it is magical. It does have power to speak deeply. If a piece speaks to you, engage yourself in the dialogue. Go deeper. Listen. Respond. It will enrich your life.
I agree with you fully. ART IS MAGICAL. In my experience In several ocassions creations have come about that I did not have an interpretation for. However, the viewers would. I once had a painting at an openning were the viewer exclaimed to his friends ISTAMBUL!!! hE WAS SO CONVINCED it resembled a part of his hometown in an abstracted form, I suppose. I have never been there nor ever remember to have seen pictures of it. 3 months later he came back and bought the painting. 1.5 years later I received a postcard from ISTAMBUL It a panorama of the exotic city, I used a magnify glass to see if anything resembled what I had painted and YES!! indeed there was the entrance to the city he had talked about at the openning. The hand writting was so diminutive that I had to use the magnify glass to read it. I was shocked to see that it had been sent to the wrong address. Something "outthere" needed to show me ISTAMBUL!!!. My questions to you is, I sometimes create paintings that don't have a message,object, figure even to the day they are sold when the buyer gives it meaning even if i considered it unfinished. Do you rule out .... it is not a good painting or a good artist? I am just curious to hear your opinion because I come to found out that paintings that don't speak to me speak to other people that are moved by the color of some incidental mark that to them is glorious. I never follow people's advice or opinions because somehow i have developed a voice that seems to tell me what directions to take even if it seems the "less travelled" or not the way people normally do it. I like what you write most of the times and very much enjoy your work of art. please send me a note to artbynubia@hotmail.com
