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.
