Inspirational Art

By Emily Sigidson


Inspiration can be found in so many places. It can mean different things to different people, which is quite possibly why we find it so awe inspiring. It is because of this ability that we are able to create and engage in some of the most powerful and wonderful things this world has to offer.

However, for an artist, it is a necessary skill to ensure you are channeling what moves you. The best part is when this feeling is captured and can be relayed upon a canvas. When the emotion and mindset of the artist is turned into a powerful visual; that is the greatest evidence of prevailing inspiration.

Given that, there are many different causes and triggers that allow people to become motivated to create a work of art. Whether it is heartache or elation, this range of emotions can pave the path for a beautiful, creative process.

Often times, artists will use symbolism in their work to reflect their ongoing struggle to find inspiration. This is not always a blatant focal point, but instead must be sought out with careful research by the viewer.

Though the image or character may not lie at the forefront of the work, it does not mean it does not hold great significance. This is often the artist asking you to look deeper. They now want to inspire you to channel what this visual means to you. Let it take you to a different place.

With that said, make sure you really take your time when examining an artwork. The smallest details may carry the greatest weight. Many times, viewers become extremely moved by a painting when they are able to relate to the pain or happiness associated with its meaning. So from now on, take your time. Allow yourself to drawn in by the art of inspiration.
