Art Modifies Our Perception of Reality

                                                      Art modifies our perception of reality

Art- what is it ? According to Kant,in his book Critique de la faculté de juger, art is a beautiful and subtle representation of something and not the representation of something esthetically pleasent. A piece of art is a perception of our reality through the artist’s  vision and sensibility. He describes how he conceives, and how he sees the world inside or outside him with a physical medium as painting, photography or dance. He put his creative, deep and personnal inspiration to give life to a part of himself. For everyone, the reality is the perception we can have ; it’s connected with the knowledge we have about it. Art can modify our connection to the reality by its contemplation and  its company.

First, art has the might to impact on our link with reality. Nonetheless, we have to gaze at, to look intently at pieces of art. When we take the time to feast our eyes at a painting, for example, we open a room with this medium, canvas, colors, shapes, shadow and light. The Nympheas, an impressionistic masterpiece of Claude Monet, is a huge canvas showing a vibrant river landscape with a plethora of flowers. When you look it, only after few minutes of patience and initial perception, something can happen. Indeed, with only this time and this attention, you might open the door of this « room », we connect ourselves to the painter, to the moment painted and to the source of creation. Also, you have the opportunity to feel emotion. This kind of experience of contemplation allows us to live the source of purity with flawlessness. In other words, it’s like a person ; the more we use patience and  listening, the more we have a chance to sense, to perceive the « gold » inside him. Furthermore, if we refine our look and sensibility through art pieces, by transforming ourselves, our link with the reality evolves.

Secondly, the frequency, the company of art through changes our connection with the reality.One of my close friends works in an Art museum. At the beginning, he was not very sensitive about old art pieces. However, after a while, his perception of paintings, for example, evolve. The beauty exudes from its having an positive impact on him. He had more facility to perceive the beauty around him through the nature and people. Our life is constituted of electrical and magnetic energies ; each thing has a specific and personal length of vibe. In addition, each vibe has an impact together with others. Therefore, when you spend time around a room with art pieces, you receive the image of the subject realized, and, in the same time, you receive the unique dance related to it. Your personal inside room evolves, and, as a result, your perception of the reality evolves, too.


In conclusion, art is powerful for everyone, when we give time to contemplate or when we are in touch with it frequently. Life gives this gift to human people to evolve the link we have with the source and the reality. We can use it to help ourselves, and to balance the inside vibes we have. Use the power of the art’s diversity to heal and express who you are in this pseudo « reality.

The Artistic creation - Essay

                                                            The Artistic Creation

 In the Bible, It is written « God created the man to his image, He created him to the image of God, He created the man and the woman » Genesis, Ch 1. In general, the creation has a original relationship with a religious  topic. Over many decades, the utilization of this word was directly connected to God, to symbolize the process which allows Him to give an existence to the humanity and to all things on this planet. Already during the Antiquity, Greeks gave a special attention to the « fureur divine », « divine fury », which seems possesed by the poet when i was creating. During the  XVI° s, a religious worth was attributed to the artist. The beauty of his art pieces revealed something superhuman, a power given by God. It’s difficult to explain precisely what his artistic creativity was trying to explain the mystery of create a piece of art.

First, « giving birth to »/ creating  an art piece is like giving birth to a child. After,you have to educate this child to see him blooming. In the same way, a piece of art created by an artist is « a world » with its own autonomy, and its inside order. In 1846, Balzac wrote , in Cousine Bette : « les grands hommes appartiennent à leurs œuvres »/ « important men belong to their art pieces ». They take part of the worl they create throught a painting, for example. A painting is, as Giotto said, « a window opened on the world ». In this contemporary era, a painting can be symbolized as a window opened on one of the dimensions of the inside world. The creator is anyone who can accept his part of passivity in front of the creative impulse from the essence, and who gives the room, the time and the opportunity  to create the art piece inside himself, first. It is the manifestation (demonstration) of the man’s possession by a force which comes from inside himself, and by himself. Like a pregnant woman who does not know (without technology) what the face of her baby is, the creator des not know either. The future mother will know the physical aspect of her progeny, only when he is born. By the way, an artist knows what he is going to do, what he wants to do, only when he has done his piece.
Secondly, the feeling of the beauty and the ugliness are essantial parts which precede the artistic activity. For example, humanity has been sensitive to the beauty of a flower, of a sunset, a sunrise, before nice paintings or beautiful sculpture existed. Of course,  everyone has a sensitive part inside himself which can react in front of an ugly or a beautiful element. However, there exists two different kinds of beauty, a « natural » one, and an  « artistic » one. They are  independant. The natural beauty is the result of the perfect adaptation of its form to its functions. Kant said «  l’art n’est pas la représentation d’une belle chose mais la belle représentation d’une chose »/ « art is not the representation of a beautiful thing, but the beautiful representation of something ». The real artistic person has the power to create something beautiful by inspiring himself from a common, unremarkable thing. He has the capacity to show the essence, this same essence, everybody has inside himself. We come from the same  originel source and when an artistic person reveals this part in his art work, through the artistic creation, the artistic beauty can be born. Of course, every artists has been inspired by the nature as  the painters of the Renaissance who were more interested about the representation of the nature. Nonetheless, only a little part has really created a masterpiece that everyone can appreciate positively. For example, the « Capela Sixteen » in Rome, of Michel-Angelo, causes everybody a non-understod feeling of greatness. 


The artistic creation is the wedding of the source with the creator, the artist, and the result is an art piece, which draws another world, as child who is born. The constant work is the law of the art like the law of life. As a child  to his parents, he brings the passivity or the activity in front of his actions, sometimes, sadness, nonetheless, most of the time, he brings love, joy and happiness.

An interior designer can undertake projects that include arranging the basic layout of spaces within a building as well as projects that require an understanding of technical issues such as window and door positioning, lighting, and acoustics.
Although an interior designer may create the layout of a space, they may not alter load-bearing walls without having their designs stamped for approval by a structural engineer.
Interior designers often work directly with architects, engineers and contractors.
Interior designers must be highly skilled in order to create interior environments that are functional, safe, and adhere to building codes, regulations, and requirements.
They go beyond the selection of color palettes and furnishings and apply their knowledge to the development of construction documents, occupancy loads, healthcare regulations, and sustainable design principles, as well as the management and coordination of professional services including mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and life safety – all to ensure that people can work, live, and learn in an innocuous environment that is also aesthetically pleasing.

Types of interior design include residential design, commercial design, hospitality design, healthcare design, universal design, exhibition design, furniture design and spatial branding. 
 It is a creative profession that is consistently changing and evolving.
