I lean towards art with three characteristics. The foundational one is an emotional experience when I see the piece. The second is a strong preference for it being tangibly real. Third, it is more whimsical than anything else; it is three-dimensional. Digital art, until yesterday, has never passed any of my filters. Yesterday, I stood in the hot sun, facing a tinted window, watching and enjoying relatively large, eclectic digital art. I attest that at least one piece passed my filters and embedded itself in the influences touching my heart and mind.
Even as I wrestle with the art from a virtual world that crossed over and into my physical one, I can hear the whispers life offers me as I look forward to the day ahead.
When heart knowledge connects with head knowledge, one must confront the awareness that follows as fact. I found myself confronted by my attestation that this art created a tangibly real emotion that evolved before my eyes in dimensions I did not anticipate. As much as I could not imagine it, my soul confirmed the facts. I felt like I was wrestling with a new truth that changed my perspective. The invitation for more reflection follows the same path as each time I read the old words; “He attested its validity with the words, ‘This is the blood of the covenant commanded by God.’” (Hebrews 9.20)
Appreciation and understanding evolve. It was, for me, a pivot moment. I do not know the artist’s story or the background to this piece. I look forward to exploring more digital art and refining how I see and experience art. Given the insight, I want to take a fresh look at how I understand and appreciate expressions others make through words and actions. New styles, methods, and techniques can open my heart and mind to deeper truths and insights.
Life offers opportunities to grow when we least expect it and may not even be looking. I was waiting for my ride. In this unremarkable and silent space, Divinity opened a new path. There’s more.
