When a friend suggested that i start blogging i nodded robotically with the right side of my head but the left side hanged!!. Where???? where to start the tap dance on my key board??
For a soul whose life can simply be described as the tireless swim of a middle aged starfish through the seven seas of art can be deemed articulately correct, but then it more sounds like artistically said than done.
Out of the millions of sperms that swim across the womb, one or two lucky dudes reach their destination and transform into a human form. Is the human procreation the epicenter of creativity?
Well,then what about those fantabulous asteroids streaking across the unfathomed womb (the skies) of the mother universe,, the milky ways, the winking stars that stud the night sky, eeeeetttttccccc. WHO CREATED THEM?
It is easier to draw the picture of the supreme force who carved this universe and hang it in our prayer rooms
than to Analise WHAT MADE HIM DO IT. If some one would have popped the question,WHAT MADE HIM DO IT to Napoleon Bonaparte who coined the popular phrase "impossible is a word in the fools dictionary" he would have felt like a fool without an answer for this simply impossible question.
Well, If you share my belief that creativity is the other name of infinity, then Art is not next to God. Art is God.(atheists please excuse).
Leaving gods to themselves to continue the good work and coming down to our good old earth, the dinosaurs didn't survive probably because they couldn't think and the friendly neighbourhood cave man survived because he could think, adapt and CREATE.Creativity has not stopped since then.
From hieroglyphics to computer graphics we have come a long way in the process confusing ourselves between the words CREATION AND INVENTION.
Which word carries more weight? CREATION or INVENTION? While the synonyms attached to the two powerful words almost tally, literature has woven a wafer thin veil between these two words, there is a sea of difference when it boils down to the point, which of the two word are superior? CREATION ?or INVENTION? No!Am not a literary giant trying to entertain you with a literary jugglery show.
Just a layman and an ARTISTE sharing my confusion and seeking a conclusion from the learnt you.
For e.g , GOD CREATED THE UNIVERSE AND THE MANKIND.
THOMAS ALVA EDISON INVENTED THE BULB..
Which of the two sentences you feel has more power, depth and weight ? well, Before you feel that am taking you into another bout of literary jugglery, let me come to the point where i began this blog.
With due respect to INVENTORS who have made human life more easier, interesting and worth living,
As an ARTISTE and AN ART LOVER i feel that the word CREATION has not just more depth, but also DIVINITY attached to it.Taking you back to the beginning sentences of iARTu, those fantabulous asteroids streaking across the unfathomed skies of mother universe, the milky ways, the winking stars that stud the night sky eeetttccc, who ever CREATED them and more, is the CREATOR,THE ALL MIGHTY, THE OM NI POTENT, above all AN ARTISTE unparallelled. Hence CREATIVITY is DIVINITY, ART is not next to GOD.
ART is GOD.
In my endeavour to ART U if i had displeased a few, I apologise mindfully. But heart fully iARTu to accept the fact that not just creators, inventors, why even computer programmers have an artiste/artist in them. CREATIVITY is not an intellectual property rights programme of a select few or a human quality it is a integral part of the animal kingdom and nature.
Who has taught the peacock to mesmerise us with its dance?, and the quail to sing?and the flowers to bloom? Let us not come to a conclusion that we are the creators. We are born and just designed to create.
That does not mean that creativity will end with us or the earth.Art will continue to evolve as long as the universe exists, god knows to enthrall one and all and forever is all that we can fathom this phenomenon called ART.
iARTu - Not my thirst for fame or lust for popularity probably the genes propelled me to write this blog. Born in an artistic family who have worshipped ART for generations, ART entwined my life in numerous forms.
Be it acting, poetry, scripting, dancing, folk art, fine arts and much more have given shape to my life.
strange though, even in politics,spirituality and erotica why,. even in crime and begging i see art.
It has more to it than the phrase "beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder" . There is a conscience which chants the mantra"ART' in my every breath.
If u like my first blog on ART even faintly and encourage me to go further, I not only promise to share the secrets of my romance with the love of my lifetime "ART" but also pledge that for times to come iARTu

NARESH.V.K
Great beginning Naresh...Keep writing :)
ReplyDeleteWell said naresh! But on second thoughts, I opine that all inventions are part of creativity, but not all creations are part of inventions. Inventions can be “creative accidents” or are the result of the human’s right brain’s deliberate quest for solutions backed by the left brain’s potential to “think different”. Think of an invention where the inventor has not thought beyond his canvas... In ‘thinking differently’ lays his art, or else Thomas Alva Edison would not have been “the inventor”, there would have existed many other inventors of the bulb along with him. If the greatest quality of an artiste is to create something out of the box, then why an inventor can’t be called an artiste? If the inventor’s right brain is seeking for solutions through logic and reasoning, the left brain too co-operates by thinking out of the box.... only when the two parts of the brain work together an invention is possible!.... just as this blog is a creative expression very passionately written straight from an artiste's left brain...the thought process and logical interpretation of thoughts is straight out of an artiste’s right brain... agree or disagree???
ReplyDeleteif art or creativity is divine, I claim that inventions too should enjoy the divinity status because they are part of creativity!!! agree or disagree???
WELL IT’S NOT JUST A BRAINY PIECE.... BUT ALSO AN ARTY HEARTY PIECE I MUST APPLAUD! great write up and an inspiring article. enjoyed reading it... hope to log into this blog for more...
