Email: What do you actually think is art? (Australia)
Good question. Surely, each one of us will have our own perception or definition.
To me, art represents something we honestly do – an action, a verb. Art is an authentic expression of our thoughts, emotions (love, pain, joy, fear), intuitions, desires, dreams. Art’s about sharing our uniqueness on how we interpret experiences & observations in our world. An expansive & natural extension of our core personality.
Art is the communication of intimate, aesthetic & abstract concepts that can’t necessarily be faithfully portrayed in words (music, painting, sculpture, dance, film, technology, poetry). When words just aren’t enough, we creatively find new ways to portray incredible intent, imagination, insights & talent. Art is where we find the meaning beyond language, an ocean of sensory possibilities. Through art we sense, create our own definitions of beauty & reality. Ultimately, art is an external manifestation of our true passion.
