About Amer Alsaffar

My view:

In my point of view art is a form of expression that artist can be able to express if he knows how to create, produce and apply the right colour at the right spot. Art is beautiful, ugly, tasteful, distasteful, impressionistic, realistic and more. I believe art is an outlet for people to express themselves. I use to think that art is only drawing and painting but after tracking some art work and how the human imagination can create such a significant painting for people to admire my view has changed 100% and I am kind a hoping to accomplish 10% of that ability. Art lacks a satisfactory definition. It is easier to describe it as the way something is done -- "the use of skill and imagination in the creation of aesthetic objects, environments, or experiences that can be shared with others" rather than what it is.

I have a very strong sense about the existence of Art in daily life and Art being part of the world as it is.

Art in general lodged in the innate shape of the experience. My saying “The moment of change is Art” is the kind of feeling that you need to make or say, “But I always thought painting is only an image on a piece of panel or canvas, “But look, how did those paintings get on that panel.” There had to be a mind; there had to be an experience; the mine had to go through certain shocks, certain stresses, certain strains, and if you’re going to carry the art back to its real beginnings it’s that moment of change. I feel that we are always painting.
