Artists or Aliens?
Most People have these false assumptions about Artists, that they are crazy and lost souls, completely out of this world. But if you pay close attention to them, you’ll know that artistic people have a special ability to express their emotions, feelings and memories through different forms of art.
Let’s see through some facts, Shall we?
Artistic people don’t have the same deduction system or system of values like most people, and that’s the reason why we can’t understand their actions or follow their train of thought. Their minds tick a bit differently than a regular person’s, because it’s moved by different details.
How they feel then?
Speaking of feelings, artistic people tend to express them through everything but direct verbalization. If they dedicate a piece of art to you, spend a lot of time around you or give you significant looks you don’t fully understand, you should know they are just trying to show that you’re meaningful to them.
Artistic people usually look like they are gliding the earth, but when they are in love, they are practically flying. Be sure they’ll do anything to show their affection — in their own way, of course — and you better not be there if things don’t turn out the way they planned, because they can fall into deep despair really quickly.
Artistic people tend to draw a lot of attention. A part of that attention comes from their charisma, or aura, or whatever you like to call it, but some of that is on purpose. They like to stand out, and they often achieve that with the choice of clothing items.
There’s something you must know to get the close perspective of how devoted and consistent they are.
We all know Michelangelo, an Italian sculptor, painter, architect and poet of High Renaissance. If you’ve heard about him, you might as well have heard about his work on Sistine Chapel’s ceiling in the Apostolic Palace in Vatican City.
In 1508, Pope Julius II (reigned 1503–1513) hired Michelangelo to paint the ceiling of the chapel. Two of the most important scenes on the ceiling are his frescoes of the Creation of Adam and the Fall of Adam and Eve/Expulsion from the Garden.
When historians picture Michelangelo creating his legendary frescoes, most people assume he was lying down. But in fact, the artist and his assistants used wooden scaffolds that allowed them to stand upright and reach above their heads. He worked so hard that he forgot to take his boots off for so many days in a row that when he did remove them, the skin of his feet came off with his shoes.
That's how passionate, dedicated, consistent and honest artists are. They never really bother about their own sufferings and only care about things, people and faces they are passionate about. If this term “Aliens” is something worth calling artistic people from. Then I think Artists are Aliens — with space full of creativity and passion.
