Vacant Art

Somewhere I read an article,some two years back I guess.I cant remember the exact details but there was a line that still strikes my mind.And I am remembering it time and again so I decided to pour out my thoughts via this blog.The line goes like this"they do not make colors like you anymore".Don't know why but this particular verse made all the way up to the cortex of my brain,maybe it's because I could relate to the color or the you in that line or the subconscious painter that is within me which paints the fabrications and all the abstract thoughts that tangles me up like a prey tangled up in a spider web had something to do with it.Sometimes I hold a palette with all sorts of colors in it and all the new variety I could make by mixing one with another & still I wonder which color suits the best to paint what i exactly want to.And I simply give up thinking "there are no colors like you anymore",and yes I could make do with the dull colors but I simply cannot.I cannot compromise when it comes to what is so delicate, that is the painting of yours.

I am afraid that I might get it wrong that I refuse to try,yes that happens to a lot of us but only some tell the truth.The colors are simply not the as jolly and bright as they might seem to a lot of people.Well at least I see them differently.They whisper you different tunes and you just have to try to resonate with the correct one.Most of the people don't even consider black and white as a significant color but those are the ones that excite me the most.There were times I have wished that my palette had only black and white in it but then there were none and I was holding on to what was a empty canvas and a colorless palette so i could not paint at all and i still cannot because i am still short of colors.There are no variety of black and white as they used to be and other alternatives hold no importance maybe that's why they always are alternatives for me,never choices.But i paint with my imagination with the void that fills up whats not there and if you are still wondering I do not use no colors,I prefer it real.No any decorations to make it beautiful because I think that if you do not like something with the reality it has to offer to you,you do not have the divine right to cherish it's beauty when it's decorated with all the colors.And yes my painting is lacking a lot but i wish to leave it that way as the empty palette is what painters pick up to fill it up with colors of their own.

If one day you find a empty canvas somewhere sound and quite give it a look nicely because it is completely up to you what you see as Edgar degas quoted“Art is not what you see, but what you make others see.” it contains the fabrications  and the imaginations I created.
