What is the difference between simply harmonious combination of colors (or a nice picture) and art? In my opinion, works of art can be distinguished from other attempts to create something beautiful by one thing – beside inner flavor and harmony they carry a certain message. Thus, I believe our art should provide life messages. Everything has their own beauty and originality, and there are many types of messages in art. When I paint a pretty vase of pink flowers, I draw it with a joyful heart hoping people can enjoy it too. When I choose to paint a positive, modern-day man working to stay fit, I hope to encourage others to do the same. When I in a bad mood or lonely, my drawings reflect my emotions and create feelings of compassion. I do not paint something that shows the horror of war, but I want to do in the future hoping others will do what they can to end or prevent it.
In art, there are two different forms that can be compared to a mirror and a lamp. Mirrors reflect life, social reaction, the pulse of the actions in the world; the lamp is an argument, created to ignite something in people and call them to follow. This is the responsibility of the artist to create these mirror and lamps for people. The artist’s responsibility is to wake up people for something, and to make them look at life from various sides, with a variety of forms of expression, writing, art, music, photography, sculpture, film, architecture, etc. Moreover, the artists are responsible for leading people to understand, learn this world, and explore life’s philosophy, the truth of the world. Good art does not stretch, good art can make one touched, good art can let one know the truth, good art penetrates in the possession of the truth.
