The Beauty Of Art

I don't know about you guys but I am such a fan of art. Any type of art whether it be visual, tactile, performance or language arts. If I had to choose my favorite, it would be visual. Visual art allows me to dig deep into myself and express how I'm feeling through colors, the intensity of the paint strokes, etc. FYI I do not paint nor am I an artist whatsoever, but when I have enjoyed my share of painting, I felt that it was a great way to express myself. The last time I went to a museum, it was The Museum of Contemporary Art in Manhattan.

Now, most people don't spend too much time looking deep into the pictures or paintings. We just admire and move on which is totally cool but, I've always been the one to spend time with each piece of art I come across, and try to discover the meaning behind the painting.

My boyfriend and I really connected over art when we went on our first date to the museum. I was super intrigued that he had brought a journal, and each painting we stopped by, he would stare in awe for a few moments, we would share our ideas behind the art piece, and then he'd write comments in his journal.

 I've never seen someone who has journaled at a museum so it was super fascinating to see that. I've always loved a museum date but, no man that I have gone with has ever connected deeply with art as much as my Pablo did and still does today.

It's disappointing that the museums are not open as of yet but, I have been trying to expand my mind in other ways such as writing my blogs, reading, and questioning my whole existence lol. My favorite paintings were the ones that looked like someone just threw some paint on a piece of paper and called it a day. I didn't know but its actually called Action Painting. I was always wondered how people got inspired to just throw some paint. Where they mad when they did it? Where they excited? I like to dig deep, and especially when it comes to viewing other people's art, I like to try and figure out their story.

Art comes in so many different shapes and sizes and so does beauty. Beauty is whatever makes you smile, that warmness in your heart and, the compassion you share with the world. Beauty and Art go hand in hand for me. Even if the painting looks very abstract, I still consider it to be beautiful because someone put their soul into it.

I've spoken to a lot of artists and they all have said that whatever masterpiece they are creating, they put everything they have into that piece, heart, and soul. My boyfriend plays the piano, classical music is his forte. Each time he plays the piano, I feel the emotions and intensity he brings while playing.  Even if he's just practicing, his playing always brings goosebumps to my skin and a smile on my face.

Whatever your definition of art is I hope it brings you joy and tranquility.

"Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it."
