Different Strokes

October 30, 2025


Art has always been a deeply subjective experience, a dialogue shaped by individual perception. No two people see a painting the same way, just as no two artists create in the same manner. Each person brings their own history, emotions, and interpretations to the act of seeing, which is what makes art such a boundless, unpredictable exchange. What speaks profoundly to one viewer might leave another untouched, and that’s the beauty of it, there is no universal formula for resonance. Art thrives in that subjectivity, in the space where taste and temperament intersect.

Because of this, it’s crucial for artists to release their work into the world. Keeping it hidden in the studio means denying it the chance to find the eyes and minds it was meant for. Exposure isn’t about vanity; it’s about connection. The more people who encounter your work, the greater the chance it will land in front of someone who feels it, who recognizes something of themselves in what you’ve made. In a way, it becomes a numbers game, not in the sense of chasing popularity, but in understanding that your audience exists somewhere out there, waiting to discover you.

Every artist has a particular frequency, a visual tone that resonates only with certain people. When your work is seen widely, that frequency starts to attract those tuned to it. These are your people, the ones who understand, who are moved, who feel the pulse of your intention without needing it explained. You don’t build them; you find them. They already exist, scattered across the world, waiting for the moment your art crosses their path.

That’s why showing up and sharing your work matters. Every exhibition, every post, every conversation about what you do is an invitation, a signal sent out into the world. Some will pass by without a glance, but others will stop, pause, and feel something stir. And those moments, those quiet recognitions, are where the true connection happens. In art, as in life, it’s the differences that make it all so extraordinary. Different strokes, different visions, different hearts, and within that diversity lies the promise that somewhere, your art will be exactly what someone has been waiting to find.
