If I am
asked what is ‘love’?
My answer will
be the day I understand, what is ‘love’; I will be the most beautiful person on
this Earth. The word ‘beautiful’ here is ‘inner’ beauty. The colour of flesh
and the attitude of your personality might make others attracted towards you
but it can never overshadow one’s simplicity and inner beautyJ
Art is one
thing that reflects your thoughts and that inner beauty. Yesterday, I went with
my art teacher to couple of Art Galleries in Hyderabad. The knowledge, I
gathered from these art galleries was like ‘I need one more life to understand art
and love’.
For me, love
is passion and that passion can be revealed through art or writings or any
other creative forms. When someone reads your work or sees it, they get pleased,
you are spreading love and that is the definition of ‘love’ for me.
I visited
Shrishti Art Gallery and State Gallery of Fine Arts. Both of the art galleries
gave me a broader outlook around art and the lives of artists. I got the chance
to explore art works by famous artists like – Anjolie Ela Menon, Arpana Caur,
Lalitha Lajmi, Rekha Rao, Asma Menon, Anjani Reddy, Kavita Deuskar, Seema Kohli
and many upcoming artists.
Each
painting was a saga in its own. The detailed intricacies of each painting made
me read art. Trust me, reading art is completely different from being an
artist. It is like reading someone’s life, thoughts and imaginations. I am
glad, I started my fine arts journey as it gave me a reason to learn and see a
different world than our world of reality.
My four
hours were like watching a world of imagination. You have colours, concept and
beautiful blend of reality and imagination. Some paintings had a strong
mythological concept whereas some were as pleasant flowers of spring. I
experienced, all seasons under one roof in the intense heat of Hyderabad.
The day
ended with making a blueprint of blog for my art teacher. I read lot of techie
things around copyright or watermark images and how to protect your work of art
being stolen. So it was a day of complete learning and new growth for a blogger
and writer like me.
I am
happy...Life has lot to teach me!
Maybe, I
have lot to learn!
