The artist’s mission is not to preach, but it’s to imply feelings, notions, impressions, and aesthetics, in which he engages the viewer as an interactive factor of a structure consisting of three elements: the canvas, the artist, and the viewer. Thus we often find words used to express interaction with artworks are: feel, sense or taste. Absolutely none of us has ever been inspired by a certain work of art and interacted with it. That’s why what matters when it comes to perceiving an art piece isn’t knowing the artist’s thoughts or intentions as much as learning how to examine and view the artwork. People have got to be cultured so that they can find a haven in art and realise that there’s another beautiful and rather bright side to life.

Art has always been associated with inspiration, intuition, vision, and innovation, which turned art into an abstract that’s beyond reality and even the world we’re living in. Until it became closer to a theology.
