Understanding Art ?

We humans communicate with words. We use alphabets to form words, words to form sentences and sentences to deliver our thoughts. What we think is formed majorly from what we see and whenever we are unable to understand something we see, we ask questions about it. Thus, curiosity arises inside us to know about that thing and we begin to gather information about it.

Art is something which is widely referred to as interpretation of thoughts in visual medium. Artist interprets his/her ideas or thought into his/her artwork. But yet, Art is something which people don't understand the most and also it is the thing which the people wants to understand the most. Just not the common masses the art students and some professional artists have to go through this problem. The beautiful yet mysterious artwork presented in front of the audience tempts audience to know about that artwork, because art is something which everyone likes, but they always find it difficult to understand it.

But do we really need to understand it in literal terms. What if an artwork evokes certain emotions and forces you to think and concentrate on something entirely different than art. We mostly try to walk through the logical way creating own concepts and theories on things, places and people around us. We are conditioned to perceive everything around us.

Art is not about some language or a mere visual, it never was, it is a mere connection of finding peace in oneself. Art is fiction, reality, situation, condition, emotion, horror, joy, peace. It is everything you want it to be.
