The Epitome of Fine Arts


Wall painting still remains as the most patronized among artworks for sale even with contemporary art and this of course is limited to fine arts alone. Even a paper machete created by grades school children is an art and can be sold for fund raising purposes. However, painting remains as the epitome of attraction for people who possess exquisite taste.

Wall painting among artworks for sale started as a symbol of one’s status quo and which impression remains as it is until now. A fine amateur artist will catch the attention of exhibitors. She has now the opportunity to be known until such time businesses would elbow each other to carry her works for corporate art. Time will come that her name reverberates to the art world and her wall paintings will not speak for her alone but it will be her popular name signed to each of her works. And truly, this is where possessing her works become a signature to people who are after status symbols.
High grade wall paintings are appreciated only with people who have the means to afford at least the cheapest one. This is based from the presumption that people who have money are people who know the value of money. The more one has, the more the need arises which does not necessarily mean a confinement to basic necessities. But all the more, people want something that will cost them higher than the usual things they had when money seemed elusive. In this case,  it is just but logical that wall paintings that are more costly than ordinary wall art we see in the mall or in furniture store attract even people who are still in the onset of stuffing their wallet with greener Pasteur.

Artworks for sale can be anything from a doodle to coloured-paper cut outs but there is what we call fine arts that make the classy drool. A wall art in the house is a reflection of the taste of the homeowner for fine things.  However, many know the value of such art but lack to have it because of budget scarcity for the investment which only implies that more than taste it is money that speak when we talk about owning a high grade wall painting. The value of wall paintings grew overtime and is relative on the growth of the value of the artist a person who will spend for wall painting usually checks on the other works of the artists. Buyers may not look at the name of the artist in a glance but surely would determine if the master creator of the artwork for sale has potential to grow in the art world just by looking at the consistency of his excellent pieces.

Landscape Painting


What makes landscape painting popular to artists is that working on it is creating art out of a work of an art. Land is vast. And because it was filled with gifts of heavens that make such land a beauty, then this vastness was transformed to landscape which means by itself is an art. And people who are attracted to what pleases the eye create a replica of it.

Talk about work of art as landscape then you have Asia to look at. Asia is known for natural resources. The lush green covers the continent which in between are crystal clear waters. Go to the opposite panorama and you have deserts and pyramids. From greens, we divert to the neutral colors of browns. Asia by itself is panoramic which means Asian art is popular when it comes to landscape paintings. It is true that out of creativity, art can be created. An artist who has not seen anything can see visions by just imagining.  This happens to a few but actual exposure to that something can make the majority create an artwork out of it. That explains as to why Asian art mastered landscape painting.  Nature is what people see. And it is this natural landscape of the continent that serves as the people’s refuge over unsightly views of poverty.

Creating landscape painting and extending its beauty to the viewers became the means for the people to show their gratitude to nature. In fact, landscape art becomes more patronized after a massive distraction of one region due to calamity. People’s peace offering to mother nature is expressed through replicating the beauty of the surroundings by the use of art. This applies more commonly to Asian arts where history of people was inclined to worshipping nature. Asians see mother nature so alive rewarding humankind with natural resources and punishing them, too for negligence in handling such beautiful reward. This notion becomes widespread that Asian countries set their mind to make calamities as an outcry of our neglected surrounding. And to give nature back what it deserves, beautiful landscape wall paintings are patronized even more.  Nature is artists’ true inspiration.

Asian art especially as that of Chinese pioneered landscape paintings. As we know, China along with Japan and others are known likewise for their relaxing gardens. These aren’t even nature at all like mountains covered with lush green. But these are man-made landscapes meaning raw lands were turned in to a beautiful work of art.  You see a garden, the blue sky, and sometimes with people and animals in the scene. And most importantly, weather is a frequent if not constant composition. All the more that you see artists expert on landscape art from archipelago like that of the Philippines where nature is rich and untouched.

Revisiting the Classic


From contemporary art, let us now revisit the classic. Originaloil paintings that caught the attention of many scholars are no doubt originated from the art genius themselves who lived during time where knowledge was most sought and geniuses from different fields arose challenging the traditional views of religions, most especially as that of Christianity.

Leonardo da Vinci in the field of Arts while we name Newton in Science as few among the geniuses in the old times whose names are until now carried on not to classroom lessons alone but even in films and books.  The famous Da Vinci inspired novel which was adopted by a catchy film that grossed to millions of dollars cannot deny the fact that people became obsessed with Newton’s code that led the way for the heir to reveal herself.  Among the many high grade paintings that this Earth has ever produced, Mona Lisa claimed the fame in this modern time. Yes, it was famous before but who would ever thought that during these years where contemporary art is expected to overshadow what is classic, the original oil painting of Mona Lisa reclaimed its fame once again. We are not so sure if it is the Draconian Devil that triggered its revival in this contemporary time or the code from the Petruvian Man or just simply because it is Da Vinci’s Feminine Sacred and nothing else can beat that.

Traditionally, wall paintings are expressions of faith. As we know, they became renowned as artworks from the reign of Roman Catholicism. So mostly, during those times, you would see depiction of heaven and all the figures that dwell in it like angels fighting over good and evil. And because this faith also believed in the presence of Satan trying his best to conquer what God has created, many wall paintings, as well, revolve around related subjects. And yes, all these high grade artworks, even those that may seem very anti-Christian in meaning were unquestionable. The depiction was subtle and message was yet to be discerned as opposed to what at present is considered art that is vulgar, blatant, and message that is too direct where no underlying meaning in depth is to discover.
Can contemporary art revive the depth of the finest of fine arts when it comes to depicting good over evil or vice versa, faith and religion, or the presence of evil on Earth without disrespecting the belief of others? If an artist created Mary Magdalene as a romantic companion of Jesus Christ in is original oil painting, then we can just credit it to imagination, fiction, or just simply creativity. But if out of an artwork created is a male genital stuck in the face of a religious icon, can we still call that art? If the answer is yes, then society needs to exert too much effort to revisit the progress of what is art now? Art is not a direct representation of something.  There needs to be an underlying meaning that has to be discerned. And by the way, to say that it needs some decoding to come up with a meaning can be too much, on the other hand.
