>>> ART - WORK - PART I <<<

_______ INTRODUCTION _______

I welcome you and hope you'll enjoy my posts

At this point, I would just like to briefly introduce what I like to establish in
our wonderful forum over the next few months.

In-between the years I have been looking at some quite old photographic
works. I was so active for many years that I sometimes simply saved
entire photo-shoots ... without editing them in detail afterwards.

Now the time has come, and it is also the right moment to reveal some of
my work to the world. For me, ART is not defined solely by technical skill.
Anyone can buy a high-resolution digital camera today and create
some decent images. However, if these images 'only' depict something
and have no context or story, I rarely feel any attraction or curiosity.

"For me, it's like Sex. Without love, intimacy and genuine
affection, I feel that something crucial is missing."


Please note: I do not see it as my task to determine the general view
or definition of ART. What I do allow myself to do, however, is to reveal
my own understanding and perspective. No one has to agree with this.
I hope that my perspective will perhaps be conducive
to a vital exchange....

"In any kind of relationship, in ART as in life, there is nothing
worse than entrenched views, dogmas and the like."

I also think that photos can be art. I thought it was in this forum https://penpal-gate.net/forum/12-everyday-life-and-customs/10738-what-do-you-think-of-this-art but i could not find it but @Colin_Der_Backfisch wrote somewhere that ANYTHING can be art also like for example making music as DJ and i think for example ballet can also be art and it is not JUST sport. But i think for art it depends what you feel and think and what others feel abt the art that you make. 🙂

And im really curious what will be in this forum so i subscribed and hope that there is more soon that you can show!!!!! 😊😊

And im really curious...

Thank You
Soon my Dear ... 🙂

Btw i have now as one of the two EXTRA subjects in school art history which is really nice but also a LOTTT to read!!! 😬😵😵‍💫

I also love finding art in everything. And i also click photos or draw myself. Someone once told me:

"How can I not love art? When I've found it in the ugliest of the world and in the prettiest of the world. In loneliness. In crowd. In dark. In bright. In love and in hate. In the arms of my love and in the heart of those harboring utter hatred for me."

They are a yearner. An utter yearner.

I also love finding art in everything....

Thank You, Nishu (a very meanigful name you have...)

Yes, it derives from the word 'Nishkarsh' (conclusion or essence)
Nidhi = 'Treasure'

My name? Really??? You think so??? It's my nickname. My name is Nidhi actually!!! 🤧✨

What are we looking for?


A work of ART should never be 'finished' or fully complete. Why?
Then it is 'dead'. The viewer should open and engage with the
work, this because only then can the work reach them. ART has
to merger in the observer.

And yes, ... the story that results from this circumstance belongs
to the viewer. It can never be completely attributed to the artist
or their work.

EACH ART-WORK has its own story and in case of a photograph,
it is a story about the Model and the Artist....

For me it is MOST important that the Image reflects the story.
That does not mean that each detail is a reflection but the
feeling and its direction should embodied.

I think it is true that if you see art than it depends what you see and also that you try to see what the artist wanted perhaps to say as story. But if art is super abstract it is also difficult to know how you should see things what they meant.

I think it is true.... But if art is super abstract it is also difficult....

_____________________________________________________ABSTRACT_________________

Yes of course, one can strive to fully 'understand' an abstraction.
Sometimes, however, it is better to remain in a sweet state of
emotional limbo. In such a state, the intensity can continue
to grow. It is like YOUR desired situation during sex.... Once
you pass the climax, it is quickly over.

So, the question is: Do you want that it is over, my Dear...?
