Instead, I think the value of an artist's statement lies in the fact that is an outlet for the artist to communicate his views related to the art - a chance to state the meaning of the work. The fact is, sometimes the art just speaks for itself. However, some art requires a bit of explanation. Typically, it is difficult for an art aficionado to comprehend abstract art as the artist intended.
Art is subjective and each person has different tastes in art.
Beauty is ultimately in the eyes of the beholder. I invite you to read first and then behold. One of the things I enjoy most about being an artist is the sense of adventure. On many occasions, I do not know where I am going to end up with a painting. I start with an idea or a photograph and every intention of creating what I had in mind before I began mixing colors.
