Art strokes/simplicity/complexity, how are related?
Art strokes, simplicity and complexity? In the simple three letters of word "Art" there is so much to say, explain, feel, view, enjoy, criticize, interpret and evaluate.
A stroke starts with one point, when multiplying it, can create one line (short or long, straight, curved, horizontal or vertical), a circle or any other shape until the final and the amazing composition comes up.
A stroke can be one word, multiplying it, can build an interesting long dialogue in different subjects.
A stroke can be an Initial feeling, when multiplying it, can form a strong love story. A stroke can be an idea, multiplying it, can leads to a multi-million dollars’ project.
A stroke can be a thought, when dwelling on it, will carries many successful or disastrous results.
A stroke can be one cell, when multiplying it, can create the whole marvelous human body with all its complexity.
Back to artistic strokes, can the last stroke cancel the previous ones or will it add more depth, value, meaning and feelings to it! Can we see that complexity starts with simplicity and end with complexity? Can one be complete without the other! The beauty is to create from simplicity a complex object yet, still looks simple but powerful!
Creation was built from one invisible cell, when multiplied, formed the marvelous and beautiful universe. The more we learn about it, the more we realize and appreciate its complexity. With the same thought, the more we observe the surroundings, the more beautiful, enhanced and rich our brush strokes will become. Enjoy your creativity.
