Is Art Emotion?
In a captivating environment this weekend, I was with a group of people talking about Art and Emotions.
Does art always gives us emotions? Does art needs to be beautiful? How art change in different cultures? and how emotions change?
It was beautiful to see how the concept changes so greatly from one person to another.
For me, every question would bring even more questions. I can’t define art in a sentence…and why would I need that anyways?
An art experience changes my emotional state. It can make me feel emotional, angry or in heaven. It helps me to release emotions that I yet don’t quite know or understand…
Yet, a strong emotion creates a memory about what I feel and/or think.
A collections or memories and emotions, create a pattern of what I feel and that helps me to understand myself better.
But, more importantly… when I experience a form of art which touches me, I change.
My shape, my understanding, my perception — everything and nothing in particular — changes.
I don’t change in a physical form or any tangible way, but internally I become lightly a different person.
A sound, then other sound, then even other.
A verse, a poem, a story and then another verse.
An image, a picture, a light. Then other light, other form, or other colors.
The texture, the shade, and the smell.
I move along with it, I search a bit more, further, a new input, other sound, other colors, other touch… I move along and I never come back to the same.
Feeling it through art will make us, ultimately, to always keep moving forward…
