As Creators, feeling becomes paramount for us on multiple fronts. In terms of what we feel when we conceptualise, create and deliver. As artist Chris DeRubeis says, “All art should inspire and evoke emotion. Art should be something you can actually feel.”

What we feel, we express, translate into colour, form, composition, concept and so on, is something that is perceived in a widespread way. But, there could be several alternate approaches to analysing and reflecting on where the feelings originate, how they evolve, travel, change and manifest themselves to translate into paintings.

Feelings are so inherently fragile and delicate, at the same time, could be intense, dense and strong! The intricacies of feeling are most dynamic in experience. Factors of consistency and influence keep changing and keep transforming themselves as demand pertains through the progression in process, fleeting or dwelling.

Inspiring and evoking emotion to feel what art may or may not convey could determine the entire nature of one’s experience of art works. While there are liberties one can take in choosing meanings for a work of art, there holds a sensibility in which rests emotion and feeling of the creation and creator’s own. The sensitivities to feel a certain way upon seeing / experiencing a creation is one aspect of the big picture, but, an integral and prevalent aspect of it is, that of perceiving the emotion held to evoke responses and feeling having travelled until the stage of display from the time of conceptualisation and production till then.

Feelings are therefore of variant factions and can be subjectively perceived at various stages of evolution to decipher and feel their rendered manifestations.
