Extension of our brains
Interesting to know that generating visual observation achieves a deeper level of understanding. When we see objects and have thoughts, they will remain as internal representations and, with time, become undefined and vague. Whereas when we express those internal thoughts or feelings whether in words, writing, sketches, drawings, paintings and designs etc. the conversation is carried between the brain, thoughts, eye, hand and feelings where matters/objects become identified and a new clear concept is born and grow to its maturity. This development gets completed outside of the brain as an extension. It is what psychologists call; interactivity or external representation which is the process of the physical manipulation of concrete objects as an aid to solving abstract problems. Practicing such interactivity improves the cognitive memory and broaden the understanding outside of the brain to see and add more into the initial visual image or thought.?
“Serenity” my oil painting on canvas, demonstrates the above fact. When drove by this place, I took several photos but they were far from being close to this painting; colors and composition matters. How this painting was created? I visualized/internalized the setting with those colors but only when started to paint, the intricate details were disclosed in many tones of each colour and applied on each wave of snow or ice became defined REALITY! The sunlight was smoothingly distributed on the complete painting from very light spots to the very dark while playing with numerous tones in each inch of it. A beautiful months of journey I had while going through such stimulating process.?
Of course, the photos are kept in my archive for copyright reason. Proudly to say, this painting was sold to one of my art collectors and he is free to reveals himself.??Thank you for the follow, it is an honour.?
