From the cave paintings in Spain’s El Castillo Cave (approx. 40,000 years BP, early Aurignacian) to exhibitions in museums and galleries, art is one of the many means of expression that humans use to understand and interpret the world around them. Visual art transcends written and spoken language and taps into the emotional and psychological inner world of both the creator and the viewer. Access to visual art and the creation of art can help people contextualize their experiences and perspectives. It connects them with others through shared expression, while at the same time allowing them to express their individuality. Artists are people who value creativity above all else and therefore perceive the world as one full of possibilities rather than a fixed and unchanging paradigm for life. They distinguish themselves by holding up a mirror to the world so that it can better observe and understand itself, while much of the world gazes spellbound at images it could never imagine itself. They thrive on subtleties, complexity, and nuances. For most people, this is unremarkable or too overwhelming. They don’t just look, they see their surroundings. When you look, you only perceive things fleetingly when it’s necessary. When you see, you really perceive your surroundings. They look around and see potential works of art everywhere. It’s always like that, and sometimes they have to bring themselves back to reality. Let’s be inspired by them to look at the world around us more closely than just perceiving it fleetingly. Exposing ourselves to different perspectives is one of the best things we can do for an enriching life. Art offers us an opportunity to do this in an accessible and entertaining way.
