DESIGN OF DARKNESS
in an artist’s perception....
What but design of darkness to appall?
I love the wild not less than the good.
-Thoreau
Nice. Nasty. Good. Bad. What’s the difference?
Are you nice? Cool! Are you nasty? So what? Are you good? That’s wonderful!
Are you bad? I think I love you.
Of course everyone is taken by the sunshine and brightness. But does anyone ever
realize that there’s something appealing about DARKNESS?
Believe it or not, there is solace in darkness. And there definitely is beauty in darkness. A beauty only an artist dares to unveil.
Well, am I in love with the prince of darkness? I may sound weird. Actually, I am growing more weird every day. I always try to see beyond, not really looking at the outer surface. I strongly believe that there is beauty in everything and in everyone.
So if everybody thinks you are bad, just let them be. There will always be someone who will look deep into you and see something brilliant the others have failed to see.
Do I sound really weird? So what? Many would probably arch a brow but I couldn’t care less.
You love me? Fine! I love you too. You hate me? You probably are annoyed with me without any rhyme or reason. That’s your problem and I am glad I annoy you.
On Art…
In art, an object doesn’t have to be pretty to be beautiful. An artist must see with his heart as well as his eyes. There is vastly more to see than what appeared at first glance. In my art class, I’ve learned that you must discover what makes one unique. And right then you will begin to understand and love it.
Art, no doubt, is an expression of love and understanding.
Trouble with art is…
… it makes you look weird in everyone’s eyes
… It keeps you awake with a vivid picture in mind
… it gives you the eyes that can’t stop staring
… it consumes too much of your time
… it invades even your most private dreams
… it makes you oblivious of the ugly world
Art is Blind?
Nunca! Never! Art has a thousand eyes, all directed to the beauty of all creations.
Blessed are those who were born with an artist’s eyes. Seeing through the orbs of an artist is a gift. It is as though all the lights from the billion stars were put into thine eyes, giving you the gift of eternal sight.
Art is an expression of beauty. And if art be blind, no beauty could’ve ever been seen or witnessed.
These are my words. And he who dares contradict, I have this to say: “Art is not blind. It’s you who is blind.”
