What is art?


For me, art is about expressing oneself, whether that expression has to do with recreating something that exists already in the form of a still-life or portrait, or if it has nothing to do with the viewer and is just splatters on a canvas.  All art comes from what is inside a person’s mind, and all people are different, therefore art is whatever the artist wishes to express.  Of course, not everyone will agree or enjoy it, but it is still art if the artist was able to express his feelings, views, and life through the creation.

This piece of work is a perfect example of an artist's expression.  Why a fairy riding a magical bunny?  Who knows, but the artist known as "stressedjenny" certainly did express it well.
(As a note, this work is not mine and all rights go to stressedjenny)
