“Art has always been
the raft onto which we climb to save our sanity. I don’t see a different
purpose for it now.” – Dorothea Tanning
The purpose of art is to see
what others might have missed. What we
see in a painting depends on our personal experience. Some may see the moon with stars in a
painting while others see the sun with dandelions in the sky. Art will touch each soul differently
depending on one’s mood or personal circumstances.
My paintings are like
illusions. The colors and textures form
what each individual person chooses to see.
The purpose is to create a reaction within each viewer.
What do you see in this
painting? Look at the colors and imagine
if there was movement. Imagine the movement
expanding beyond the four canvas corners…
Only the viewer can bring life
to each painting. You decide what you
see and give it Purpose.
Explore the possibilities…

I see the entrance to a cave. On the outside, sunshine, flowers, deep greenery (and the subtle hint of the carving of a dragon on the left hand side). On the inside, a rush of water disappearing into the depths of the cavern. An invitation to explore the unknown. A summons to go deeper, chart unknown territory.
Beautiful, Ralph! Thanks! (Nancy Bach, aka Nan Sampson)
