When art reflects emotions

Hello friends! Today I want to talk about art, experiences and emotions. I think there is a great variety of artists, they are so varied as people are and, even when experts try to define and put them into categories, sometimes it is very difficult to reduce a style to simple words.

We have reached a point where it seems that art should only reflect those good and simple things of life, as if we had forgotten that we are something more than that, that we are made of experiences, emotions and feelings, and that it is these internal and immaterial issues brought to paper or canvas that really defines us as artists.

I have always admired those who have the ability to show in images what happens inside themselves or inside other people since they have the sensitivity of being able to appreciate things beyond the obvious. Either through colors, elements or lines used, these artists transmit us something different, something that comes from their own inner elaboration and often from their heart. What is an artist but who releases his/her inner questionings through a painting and allows us to see a personal own vision of the world through it? No matter how good you are with a pencil or a brush, if you don't put a little of your heart in what you do you only reproduce the evident.

We have Adina Art's works as an example of this. She, as an artist, offers us her idea about the facts of life showing us that a line is more than a line and that a color is more than that in what seem to be innocent compositions but that lead us to question ourselves about our experiences and feelings, yet without being exempt of great beauty. Adina does not delve into the drama, she uses the symbolic elements and leaves us enough freedom so that we can go further and reach our own conclusions.

I have chosen three of her works to show you, those that have personally been more representative to me, but it would not be fair that you only see these, as her work is more extensive and varied than what I can show in this article. So, I invite you to click on the images to really appreciate the work of this sensitive and great artist.
