The fastest form of communication is visual; this is because photographs meet the eye at the speed of light. At the speed of light, one receives information faster than sound meets the ear; far faster than reading meets logical structuring and understanding. What the artist reflects meets the viewer at the speed of light. At that speed the viewer is already having thoughts about the picture before they know what they are thinking. This explanation is just one of the many keys to innumerable locks around the question of why art happens to people. Untrained you couldn’t possibly block it out of your mind, because your mind has it before you do; it shows it to you before you know you know what to know.
"Fly with thine eyes all round about this garden;
For seeing it will discipline thy sight
Farther to mount along the ray divine." - The Divine Comedy
"Perhaps there is a living transcendence, of which beauty carries the promise, which can make this mortal and limited world preferable to and more appealing than any other." - Albert Camus

"The greatest style in art is the expression of the most passionate rebellion." - Albert Camus
But tell me this, how in your art do you search for God and the infinite?
The practical creation of Art is very contingent on privacy. Just as what you do when your parents are watching, your religions are watching, your clothes are on, and you’re being recorded might change your art.
It is very hard to be wrong about art, but I find that dishonesty comes easy, and is easily recognized.
I've had more fun making my art than any derision of pleasure I've gotten out of people telling me what they thought or saw of it.
"A man's work is nothing but this slow trek to rediscover, through the detours of art, those two or three great and simple images in whose presence his heart first opened." - Albert Camus
"If you hear a voice within you say you cannot paint, then by all means paint and that voice will be silenced." - Van Gogh
