Under the hashtag # PortraitChallenge you find a portrait every Thursday to make your own version of. Here you see different versions of the latest portrait challenge.
As you can see – everybody draw or painted the woman in his/her own way. Not only the chosen material, paint, pencils and paper are different. The woman every time looks different. Some gave her a manly touch. Some made her old, some made her as if she was sad. Mostly done in black, some in color.
It’s a great example of how we humans in general and artists in special, see someone. Most of the time we see only a part of a person. The part we see, often resembles a part of us because people are mirrors to each other. The work of artists always show us the artist him/herself too. What the artist show, be it music, dance, acting, writing, sculpturing and painting and more of the arts, is the way he/she is. Look all movies of an actor after another and you will see always the same mime, sort character. Themes of artists work show the artist as well.
“Color is an act of Light that breaks”
Martinus Nijhoff
You can not see the light without refraction. It can be white and divine, but you can only see it if it is broken and disintegrates into ‘colors’. Idem with life. You can only experience it in the ‘colorful events of it’. In short – expression through artistry. Art breaks through the limitations of daily life through colors with which you paint, dance how you move to music and why, words that can express a feeling. Another fantastic performance is reached when all the different arts play together.
Artistry opens you to the world and often, at least I noticed that, artistry shows the future to come.
The named #hashtag on Twitter is a nice one to follow and join because you don’t need to be a star at the brush or pencil, you just have to be you.
