Nova Spatium Sapientiae

Every piece of art that has ever been created has been fueled by inspiration. The source could be happy or sad real or imagined or even dredged out from the depths of subconscious intuition at times. Regardless there is a context. The viewer can choose whether to be interested in learning about the context - whether stylistic historical personal socio-cultural or political - or simply connect with the product because the work itself is more important. Choosing to observe art with a pristine uncoloured viewpoint can be refreshing in and of itself but learning to recognise the subtleties can elevate it to something stunningly spectacular. Its promise may go unrealized if left to its own devices. These questions have been raised by people of all ages professions and cultures. Why should a work of art be explained? Is it necessary to assess its technicalities emotions and purpose? Is it in fact ethical to do so? Are we going against the spirit of the creative process by attempting to explain it to ourselves and the rest of the world?
