Inspirational Art

By Emily Sigidson


Inspiration can be found in so many places. It can mean different things to different people, which is quite possibly why we find it so awe inspiring. It is because of this ability that we are able to create and engage in some of the most powerful and wonderful things this world has to offer.

However, for an artist, it is a necessary skill to ensure you are channeling what moves you. The best part is when this feeling is captured and can be relayed upon a canvas. When the emotion and mindset of the artist is turned into a powerful visual; that is the greatest evidence of prevailing inspiration.

It is important to keep in mind that the source for motivation may not always come from a positive experience. Because of the broad range of heartfelt emotions, we are able to experience art and feeling in its rawest form.

Because of the ongoing search for inspiration, artists will often times conceal whatever has inspired them within their paintings. However, the hints will not always be at the forefront of the piece. It will often times require careful observation by the viewer.

The source of inspiration may not be the pivotal point of the painting. But do not let that deter you from recognizing its impact. Most of the time, this is the artist telling you to take your time and observe. Make note of the small details and allow them to take you to a certain memory or emotion that is significant to you.

With that said, make sure you really take your time when examining an artwork. The smallest details may carry the greatest weight. Many times, viewers become extremely moved by a painting when they are able to relate to the pain or happiness associated with its meaning. So from now on, take your time. Allow yourself to drawn in by the art of inspiration.
