Criticism of art

I consider the judgement whether a picture is art or not as superfluous as to state its material value. Everything is possible, everything is allowed to exist, and everything can be tolerated. The viewer decides according to his feelings and emotions. The variety of artistic forms of expression is as great as the number of their creators in their uniqueness.

Of course, criticism can be exercised. However, for the work of art and for its creator, such an assessment seems to me rather unnecessary. The artwork is finished and can no longer be changed. The artist has done his best. He was authentic and will want to remain so. Each viewer may have different feelings, nevertheless, this should be of no concern to the artist and his piece of art.

I also think in depth knowledge of the artist is unnecessary. This neither improves nor degrades the picture, but exposes it to subjective influence. Even a date would be dispensable. Actually, it is also not necessary for the artist to know who or how many people evaluate his work in which way. In any case, he could not have worked/painted differently if at the time he was completely in the “now” and in his balance during the creative process. So probably, further artistic expansion at this point would not be feasible. Here he enters into resonance with the aspects of the morphogenetic field.

Therefore, harmonious and beautiful art is time- and ageless. It is an expression of original creativity. It is love brought into manifestation, its source being all-embracing love and unmanifested consciousness. Thus it has the potential to touch us and resonate with us. Art in this sense is not subject to fashion trends. Possibly, its demand might decrease with our expanding consciousness. At present, however, we need the effect of harmonious art more than ever.

Utility art – useful art

In today’s world, the unstructured flood of information available to us (humans) has become a greatly underestimated health hazard.
An art with harmonious features and which expresses joy and pleasure, carries the potential to not only distract the viewer but to positively influence him or her directly.
Both the information of a picture and its energy affect our body, mind and soul (see also effect & purpose of art).
Interacting with art is comparable to connecting with nature.
We can achieve balance and stability by looking at pictures, as we do when feeling joy or having an enlightening experience. We consciously step out of the carousel of everyday thoughts. This helps us to freely evolve and through it further our personal development in a pleasant way.

Art should not be a luxury item or pursuit but should be omnipresent, surrounding us and used by us. I call this art “commercial art” or “utility art.” These paintings should be inexpensive and easily replaceable, should my mood or feelings towards them change or I am in need of new impulses. I see my free pictures as “utility art”, available to anyone who is interested.
