Lost and Found

We admire art, often not knowing why! Art is indeed magical, pulling us towards itself, taking us to a new world. It opens its arms to new ideas, concepts, creations, interpretations and appreciation. We are no longer bothered by the outside world, but create our own tiny world. We talk to ourselves. Stories are created in mind and often emotions are evoked by the artwork. It is no longer an artist's work but the viewer makes it his own and understands and interprets the creators view. The rich painting with various layers often enriches the mind and brings out the layers of feelings. It is a spiritual journey, bringing calmness and satisfaction. It lets one forget the outside worries, to do lists, taking away all the weariness. 

Gazing at an artwork, one truly gets lost in our little world. It is just the 'me' and 'the work in front of me'. It is the time one gives to one own self  for self enrichment and rejuvenation. The viewer connects to the artwork, creates his thoughts, beliefs and viewpoints. No one contradicts or comes in way of that journey. It is makes him feel lifted and superior. This is the power of Art! Indeed, it is a joy of getting lost and being found :)
