Abstract art doesn’t represent reality, but rather expresses our imagination through shapes and colors. With its colors and symbols, abstract art exerts an energetic influence on the viewer’s soul. <\/p>\n\n
But is it always like this? Certainly, every form of pictorial art subjectively influences its users, whether abstract or figurative. <\/p>\n\n
When we form an opinion on a painting, what do we base our judgment on? When we speak of a painting as the product of the artist’s particular intention, what are we really talking about? Interpreting a work of art, trying to understand the motives of its creator, is a simple and at the same time problematic, if not paradoxical, operation. <\/p>\n\n
“Intention is the foundation of every artistic pictorial experience, whether abstract or otherwise. Intention is a field of energy, a universal force that we must learn to tap into in order to harness its full power and truly become the architects of our own destiny.”<\/em> <\/p>\n\n said Wayne W. Dyer, American writer and psychologist. <\/p>\n\n A pictorial work must be considered as an artefact of intention. <\/p>\n\n We ask ourselves why certain objectively beautiful paintings communicate nothing to us, while others, despite the simplicity of their lines and colors, pervade us with a thousand feelings? <\/p>\n\n Abstract or figurative art and all other currents, if they do not have a process of intention at their base, will remain only objects without soul or identity. <\/p>\n\n So whether a work is abstract or figurative, or even simply a blank canvas with an invisible dark dot, if it does not integrate the artist’s intention it will not have a life of its own but will be an object without energy.<\/p>\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Abstract art doesn’t represent reality, but rather expresses our imagination through shapes and colors.
