Inspirational Art

By Emily Sigidson


What inspires you? If you asked 100 different people that same question, you would undoubtedly get 100 different answers. That is the great thing about inspiration-it can be found almost anywhere. From athletes to mothers, we all require some form of motivation. Inspiration has proven to lead to the execution many great talents and can be attributed to much earth's great beauty.

Nonetheless, it is an imperative trait for artist to possess. It is nothing short of incredible when this feeling is captured and put into art form. To view the deep emotion and mindset of artist and their ability to relay this feeling on canvas is evidence enough to the great power of inspiration.

Given that, there are many different causes and triggers that allow people to become motivated to create a work of art. Whether it is heartache or elation, this range of emotions can pave the path for a beautiful, creative process.

Often times, artists will use symbolism in their work to reflect their ongoing struggle to find inspiration. This is not always a blatant focal point, but instead must be sought out with careful research by the viewer.

Although the symbolism may not always be the focal point for the painting, it must certainly not be downplayed in its role. Often times, this is the artist telling you to take your time. Notice the fine print. Let the artwork channel an emotion or memory that is significant to you.

Now that you are aware of this little known fact, make sure you take your time with a piece of art. Recognize the inconspicuous. Let the artwork take you to a memory and move you. This is when you will become a true appreciator of the art of inspiration. You will be glad you did!
