"I dream my painting, and then I paint my dream." Vincent van Gogh

You might be wondering what visual art has anything to do with writing. Well Reader, that is a great point. Visual art (painting, drawing, photography...) has everything to do with writing. It's all about composition, eliciting emotion, and rhetorical strategies. The difference is that writing uses actual words while art uses colors and brush strokes.     Take Vincent van Gogh’s Starry Night, for example.

Each color, each line and brush stroke, serves to represent stars, town buildings, and a night sky. Is he persuasive? Perhaps.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Both art and writing have their advantages and disadvantages, of course. One is more capable of utilizing logic while the other plays on emotion. Writing celebrates the nuances of definitions, as well as the beauty of knowledge and the formation of an arugment. Art celebrates the fusion of color, objects, as well as act of capturing and distorting reality.

 

Through art I've sought to capture a moment, a feeling, an idea and to study it, distort it, and magnify it.
