Art Enlightens You

Art has various forms like paintings, dance, music, poetry, etc. and they all drive us away from the reality and bring us closer to it at the same time

“Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time”, a heartfelt saying from an American writer Thomas Merton, which gives us an insight about how ‘art’ gets us closer to ourselves.

Art is a way of communication which links us with the actuality, a language of unspoken words. Art gives us freedom to go beyond our imagination and open new doors to creativity and engrossing experiences. It can change the way we look around us, because it is always much more than what it appears to be, we just need to perceive its connectivity to our lives, as our life is surrounded by art. Art is a way of seeing the world with distinct point of view, a journey with many small colorful experiences.

Art has various forms like paintings, dance, music, poetry, etc. and they all drive us away from the reality and bring us closer to it at the same time. Try explicating a painting from an artist, and you’ll be enchanted to know what it really means and feel connected to it. You’ll be thrilled by the idea what an artist’s mind is capable to visualize.

For instance, ‘The girl before the mirror’, a famous painting by the celebrated artist Pablo Picasso portrays a bright figure of a girl standing before a mirror, the mirror shows a dark and distorted image of the girl, maybe she sees her flaws in mirror that the world doesn’t see or may be the girl’s pain and fears are reflected that she might not be attractive for long. Mirror symbolizes the revelation of truth.

Music is also an art, a universal language and an inextricable part of our life which never fails to motivate us. It is a priceless and powerful boon. We have music for every situation that can get along with our present mood. So we can never go on without music. Jazz, rock music, folk, classical, raps, etc. are all different kinds of music which depict various emotions that touches our soul.

Another form, dance is an emotion, a delightful interaction, a powerful expression by moving the body with the rhythm and conveying different sentiments. Each step has some significance. Dance has been the part of human history since ages. It expresses attitude, thoughts, beliefs and emotions. For example, Bharatanatyam from Tamil Nadu is all about South Indian ideas about religion and spirituality. Even the face of the dancer expresses some mood. Dance speaks the language of soul.

Art is the initiation of the feeling of being alive and beating. It connects us to the profundity of life so we savvy everything better and that too with more delight. It encourages us to cherish all that we have known so far and go beyond. From sunrise and sunset to the night of full moon, exquisite art is hidden in small parts of our life we take no notice of, we just need to look for it, admire and then apply it. It illuminates, educates and inspires you.

You go limitless with your imagination as art helps you to express yourself completely. Beyond your ken, it relates to your ideas and experiences that lead you to discover yourself or towards the answers you are truly searching for. Art enlightens you about yourself. Art is the lie that gives a way to truth.
