Art is often admired for its beauty, creativity, and ability to captivate the human mind. It exists in various forms; from the awe-provoking sensation of paintings, sculptures, architecture and photography; to the delightful sounds of music; to the compelling and resonant nature of theatre, dance, poetry and prose.

But I would love for us to engage in a thoughtful discourse about art that stands as a visual language; one that captures and translates our emotions, ideas, imagination, lived experiences, and predictions through the uniqueness of a brush and paint.

Each paint stroke that dances across the face of the canvas is an intentional display of style and knack, which ultimately aims to convey the heartfelt emotions of an artist, through meticulous paint stains orchestrated with great flair and dexterity.

Howbeit, art is not just for decoration or entertainment, but also a powerful embodiment of identity, situations, combat, healing, gratitude, breakthrough, triumphs, and most importantly, a sturdy expression of transformation. Art is an expression of our intellectual creativity; a language intended to influence and drive change.

As the “mirror” of our historical, cultural, personal, social, and political perspectives, art has kept morphing from just stains on canvas boards, to being catalysts that champion indispensable changes in humanity.

Art offers limitless connections to a beholder, locking their eyes in to appreciate the alluring, ethereal appearance of the mute master, who beckons on their hearts to embrace the cozy warmth of the prestigious vision before them.

Art calms raging hearts; a magical therapist that says, “Tell me, I’m listening.” A non-living entity that sits with pristine majesty against a wall, but quietly and gently radiates the aura of life.

Almost imperceptibly feeling our weighted hurts and insecurities, but loudly conveys the connection of immense comprehension and active empathy that says, “I am hurting with you.”

And the most beautiful part? Art proceeds to offer us the luxury of being a safe space to rescript our stories, equipping us with the authority to redirect the trajectory of our fate.

Art is a commanding tool that drives the powerhouse of change; revolutionizing individual life-altering ordeals from intense and painful trials, to profound testimonies of endurance, belief, and tenacity.

Art connotes advocacy, resilience, and transformation.
