ART- An Ocean of Inspiration
Inspiration — many of us think that it is an over-rated , hyped word but those who have savored the taste of it , those who have been inspired by someone or something know the amount of optimistic light this word reflects in the moments of bleakness . We are living in such busy times that people hardly have time for each other and thus eradicating the probability of motivating each other from time to time . This is probably the reason why we all have started to seek inspiration through Youtube videos and Instagram pages .
This is were the role of this three letter word comes into play , the most beautiful thing about these three letters is that they have the capability to inspire oneself without giving lectures . They have the ability to bind you just with the help of humour , music , writings or random things drawn on a piece of paper. This things can leave an impact on a person that none of the seminars he attended would have had on him . Yes , you guessed it right the three letter word I am talking about is ART.
So what is so unique about these art forms that they have the ability to grab you attention and also inspire you from time to time ? In my opinion , its the freshness that they bring to the table and the sensations they engenders in our nervous system . Freshness brings relatability and sensations in nervous system release dopamine, giving us a respite from the tight-schedule our mind is bound to these days.
How often does one finds himself listening to a song or repeating a quote whenever he needs a bit of motivation , this is the impact of that freshness , that relatability . But why do we relate so much with these things? The reason is that they either reflect our present or presents in front to us the future we aspire .You feel a small rush of emotions the creator would have gone through while making that sumptuous piece of art , you get to taste a bite of that Independent pie , you wish to have in you hand .
Art makes you feel independent , when you have a pen in your hand you can write anything you want , from as complicated as a science fiction to as simple as a jingle for the kids . Probably William Kandisky was referring to this liberty when he said “ There is no must in art because art is free ”.
The reason why these artists are so inspiring and captivating is that they are themselves inspired . You can’t go deep into an art if you are not inspired every single day and if you are not inspired , how will you inspire others . How can a candle lit other candles or enlighten the surrounding if it itself is not burning .
After one reaches a certain position , he tries to inspire others so that the art form which gave him everything doesn’t die in the future . Salvador Dali once said “ A true artist is not one who is inspired but one who inspires others ” . However , I partly disagree with Mr. Dali as you would have decoded from the lines above .According to me , both the boxes should be ticked.
Inspiration for me is something that motivates oneself to wake up every morning and work relentlessly in whatever field he is . It is something that gives a purpose of our lives and makes us believe that we can change something or maybe anything . And Art is one of the most imperative flag-bearer of this empire .
