How does an artist express themselves? What methods or means of expression can they use to give shape to their vision of the world and other human beings? Techniques, materials, colors, proportions, shapes—these are only some of the elements at the artist’s disposal, used to convey the author’s own understanding of the universe to the audience. The audience, in return, has to be capable of deciphering the meaning and understanding the message of the author. It’s a serious challenge both for our intellect and our sensitivity, an exercise of communication without words—beyond language.
