A window into my colourful world.
The world of my art is about turning an idea into something beautiful, something you would want to live with. Being close to an artist and their work is not only passive watching but active engagement with art. Every work carries a piece of the artist’s soul, their view of the world. And social media lets us step right into the maker’s studio.
To feel, to be moved, to think it over — all of that you can do from the comfort of your home, or wherever you happen to be. Artists have always wanted to share their work with the world, and social media gives them the perfect place for it. And we, stepping into their world, can sense where their inspiration comes from.
Being close to an artist on social media means feeling how every line and every colour on a painting is born. It means seeing an enormous work built out of the smallest strokes and details. It means understanding the artist, the thoughts and ideas they are trying to hold inside their work.
Social media also makes art far more accessible. It used to be that to see a new exhibition or judge someone’s work you had to be physically present in a gallery or a museum. Now it is much simpler — you can look through the work of almost any artist just by opening a social network on your device. So social media lets us discover new names in art, find new talented artists and support them.
It is worth remembering that simply scrolling through an artist’s work is only the beginning. To really appreciate their world and get inside it you have to engage. Leave comments, ask questions, share your impressions. That helps not only the artist but us, letting us understand more and open up through art.
So watch your bookmarks, follow the artists who interest you and do not be afraid to engage with their work. Your experience will be much closer to visiting the studio itself and talking to the maker directly. Step into their world and honestly enjoy every masterpiece, every brushstroke and every moment of art. My Telegram — getting to know an artist better, you understand the thoughts held inside their paintings.
