Outstanding features of painting
Visual language: Each work is a blend of lines, colors, light and composition, creating a strong visual message.
Visual appeal: No matter how profound the message, painting always aims for direct reception by the eyes.
Interference of technique and emotion: Color and light processing skills are only a part; artistic inspiration and intuition are the soul of the painting.
Styles and periods
Realism – Faithful to real images, meticulous and accurate.
Impressionism – Recording light, moments and fleeting emotions.
Abstract – Freeing shapes and colors from real images.
Surrealism – Taking viewers into the world of the subconscious and dreams.
Expressionism – Pushing emotions to a climax, sometimes distorting the body to convey messages.
Role in life and culture
Recording history and culture: Paintings are “visual diaries” of society through each period.
Personal expression channel: Painting allows artists to speak their own voice without being bound by words.
Aesthetic and educational impact: Nurturing taste, stimulating imagination and empathy.
Relationship with other visual arts
Painting goes hand in hand with sculpture, photography, graphic design, creating a panoramic picture of visual arts. In modern times, painting also blends with installation art, murals, and digital art, expanding the boundaries of creativity.
