. I often think that images are results of ideas and emotions which happen in the field and help in creating visuals. Converting an image into art later being inspired by songs or poems raises many questions in my mind. Frankly I had never considered finding myself in a situation like this. I spoke to a painter today and asked him about my worries. He said often many painters prefer to keep various works unfinished at various stages and move on to a new one. Ideas of a new one often are born from the previous one he was working on. Many a times, they take the liberty to bring more changes in the old unfinished paintings, some new thoughts etc if space or possibility allows, thus entirely changing the concept. From that angle he did not find anything alarming that I indulged in post processing changes to convert an impromptu image into an expression related to someone's poem. He said now that I have those words in my mind, I should think of other ways of expressing it. I have always relied on connecting to nature on the spot, something that I see, or feel to stimulates my senses. I have never thought of creating images indulging in preconceived emotions which work more as ideas and very less as emotions in my mind. Things are really getting complex. What are your thoughts. Myself and Ganshi were discussing something very close to these lines. I can think of learning from music, poems, works of literature, modern and contemporary art which would make me more sensitive, have an influence on my thinking to try creating new visuals, but is it art to actually not have the emotion working in mind at the time of creating an image ?? Can I make an image which speaks of sadness by not feeling sad ? Will I be satisfied to carry the idea of sadness and make an image which speaks of sadness ? Will I not end up creating something which has no emotional value at all ?? I would love to know about your thoughts.
