Can it be measured? Does it have rules, sizes, categories?
Is a huge canvas more “art” than a tiny handmade piece of jewelry?
Is art only what fits into classical disciplines?
Throughout history, art has been defined in countless ways. Each era has shaped it with its own ideas.
And yet, something remains constant: true art moves you.
It touches something deep within, even when you can’t quite explain why.
And truthfully, you don’t need to explain it—
That’s what the work is for: to speak where words fall short.
Some view art through the lens of the market: noble materials, big names, high prices.
Others see it from a more intimate perspective: what it makes them feel, what it stirs within them, what they can’t stop looking at.
And the value?
It’s hard to define.
Because even if the art world sets a price, the real value often lies elsewhere: in desire.
In connection. In that feeling of “this is meant for me.”
And that’s deeply personal.
The creator’s bond with the piece matters, too.
That emotional value exists on both sides—the artist and the viewer.
These days, the word "art" is used so frequently that it often feels almost empty.
Everything is art. And yet, nothing truly is.
But maybe that’s the whole point:
The key is that each person decides what art truly is.
Not what others tell you. But what you feel.
Do you need someone to tell you what art is, or do you trust your own instincts and emotions?
