About Fine Art
Every real piece of Art is an offering to the future.
Intellectual works of Art belong to all of the human race. Depriving people of true works of Art is a crime against the freedom of intellectual thinking and expression, a crime against humanity.
Aristotle mentioned that for any Art, “if it is artistically done, the peculiar pleasure arising out of the union of the pitiable and the terrible will be awakened in the mind of every one who possesses normal human sympathies and faculties.”
Art is very powerful. It opens the door to human consciousness.
Art can be used as an expression to deliver the message and raise our intellect and potential to the level where we will be in touch with our reality, where our intellect will match our responses, and where the visual approach of expression becomes the moving engine of society.
Fine Art affects our emotions and control our actions. Art has been used for centuries as a form of advertising for information, education, religion, and politics, present in world history from the beginning of the human species. Art was recognized as a mover of the masses and society, something that triggered the human consciousness, intellect, and emotions to rise above the material aspect, or “tunnel vision.”
Applied Art is for the eyes. Fine Art is for the soul and heart. The difference between the visual and the intellectual is that one is to give satisfaction, the other to stir the emotions. To express an idea into the Art form, the Rules of Art have to be used accordingly, but not to distract from the general idea of the message and the intention of the Artwork to which it is devoted.
“Where the spirit does not work with the hand, there is no art.”
-Leonardo daVinci
TIME
When the Time
goes by
And the dust settles
in our footprints,
Many summers
and winters
from now,
Only the fruits
of love
Will remain
on this planet.

The Art of Fine Art
Art, the window to humanity…
On the philosophy of Art, the rules of Art are based on logic, science, nature, probability, biology, chemistry, the feelings, the soul, the present conditions, the state of mind, and anything else that would redefine our intellectual view. These are the real tools of the Artist to be used to achieve maximum visual impact in the creations made.
Basically, the rules of Art are our tools to tell and express our ideas and our stories visually and put them into the image for the viewer. All those experiences and human knowledge are implemented to give all the color, impact, power, feelings, diversity, and character to the Artwork we create.
The dictionary defines where we stand on the matter of Fine Art. The definition is clear, stating that any creation of intellectual content coming from the mind or any idealized creation is a work of Fine Art.
Anything we execute that is part of our visual experience and requires technical knowledge (or not) is a form of Art - applied art or decorative art or representational art. When we try to represent objects or subjects truthfully as much as we can to its original likeness, with form, color, details, or anything that defines object to be what they are, this, too, is a form of Art.
No matter what form of creation - painting, sculpture, architecture, jewelry - or any art created by the Artist that comes from the mind or imagination, we call that the Pure Art, or “Fine Art.” By having all those tools and knowledge, previously mentioned, in their hands, Artists have an opportunity to freely express their feelings and represent their ideas in any form, design, or visual image.
Any time we introduce a line or material to the flat surface, we alter the second dimension. Any time we move and progress forward from the original to the imaginary, we are entering into new dimensions. That is the door to our intellectual thinking and dialogue where we are venturing into the complex and imaginary world run by the emotional or the psychological, the world of our creativity, the world of our Creator. Any time we use our intellect instead of our needs, we participate in the intellectual world of the Universe. We become one of them.
By entering all those different dimensions, we gain a different point of view, giving us a different image of reality on the same object or subject. In this stage, all that is changing is “our viewing” perception or perspective.
The struggle for us as humans is to accept those changes or views no matter what package or color they come. The natural cycle of the world cannot be changed. No matter how creative we are, we cannot escape the structure, the perfection, of the forms. There have been calculations to the micron where all forms are related and meet each other. Even when they look to us so abstract and free, they still stay true to their original form and integrity. They are following the Golden Rule, the rule of the Creator, the base and structure for everything, the beginning, the work of the Creator. What we really add is just our creativity and the dialogue to that unknown. This is the window where the Artist is contemplating and doing his creative work, what we call the “Fine Art.”
