SIDELINE VIEW OF ART...
There is a journey i always take in my mind a trip of wonder and musing on what the phenomenon of art is to people around me and myself. Peculiar is the fact that we all have different definitions that describe this three lettered mystery. Now i want to elaborate on my own view and thoughts on who, what, which, when is art. My opinion is not the epitome of discovery rather it is a pace setter a revolution on the perspective of art.
There was a time when i was a little girl when my mother used to ask me what i wanted to be when i grew up and i used to imagine who i would be before giving the answer though the thoughts formed in my mind in a split second the vision would be so clear, so detailed a grand masterpiece. Hence as a child i was a painter...my paintings where like those of the legendary painters known today Michelangelo, Picasso and a lot more. The detail of the brush was fluid and solid the precision impeccable my painting was, but, unlike those of the respected artists they not hanging in expensive extravagant galleries unfortunately they exist in mine.
My point then becomes that we all born artists and our art grows with us in time and space, as we grow we recreate that art into colorful, different and interlinking art it fails to occur to our oblivious and focused minds that we are the art we so badly want to define.....
