What is Art?
Everything is Art! Art doesn’t have any specific definition, “Art” is beyond everything that can be explained. Art is made to feel and understand it. There comes two rules, as an individual, you are open to interpreting Art at your own convenience, and the ‘Artists’ are open to all kinds of criticism. The only constant of Art is its change and keeps on evolving. Humans have this idea that ‘Art’ must be something related to painting, crafts, and designing, but there is more to it. Everything that a person thinks differently, the things that they convince, confess or speak differently, the way people have cooking, cleaning, preparing, dressing, and all other things are art! So, we have been hearing this phrase that conveys that “beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder.” It does, everything has its own beauty and importance, and every individual prefers different genres of art.
I personally believe we humans are blessed to understand everything so deeply, we are the only creatures who are enjoying every genre of Art. Sadly, there are still many people who find it difficult to appreciate these excellent creations. We the human beings, the animals, plants and the whole universe are nothing but a part of Art that is being created by the Supreme Power (God). Since the moment Literature taught me Romanticism and Art, my heart and mind find solace, peace and meaning in the smallest of creations.
These days when I heard people talking about mad people, I wonder if is it something special that made them drown in a different realm. Are those people living in a different reality? There are so many questions that would keep running through my mind. So, I decided to interact with someone who is considered crazy by society. I met this man from my area, who keeps on talking to himself; before meeting up with him, I have done a quick background research on him. Well, that man comes from a good family who had this habit of reading books and pieces of fiction, he used to spend most of his time in the libraries.
Eventually, I started talking with the man and he would explain to me how nature has intoxicated him with its beauty, he almost personified every non-living thing and element. Now, I can understand things better from his perspective. He ain’t a mad man, he is someone who is so much into nature and its beauty. A man will get intoxicated by drugs and an Artist will intoxicate themselves with Art!
