What makes you stop and admire a painting?
Is it perhaps the combination of colors that catches your eye, the play of light and shadow that creates depth, or the expression of the soul that shines through the faces or landscapes portrayed?
For me, perhaps it is the idea the artist has hidden behind each brushstroke, the story the painting tells, or the emotion it manages to evoke, as if suddenly time stopped and a silent dialogue was established between me and the work.
And you?

Hard question. I think for me it's eye catching colors and depth, then that leads to an emotional response. Sometimes the emotions will keep dragging me back to explore. I'm explaining this terribly, what I'm saying I guess is that if it doesn't evoke an emotional response, I'm uninterested.
I understand very well what you mean.
I also get so excited about certain abstract art.
A painting is always revelatory of the mind and soul of its creator. And, at its best, it can be a window through which we see a possible future, still at least partly a dream.
You are absolutely right, I agree with you.
Composition most times I'd say.
A true painter, for me, is the one who can paint what is ordinary into something extraordinary, transforming reality through his unique gaze and sensitivity, giving new emotions and meanings to what ordinary eyes cannot grasp.
It stops me thinking about what is intended to be transmitted? Many times they are emotions, other times messages, many times they seek to make an impression... I marvel at thinking about the possibilities of techniques, textures and materials... although personally it is a capacity that I would love to explore but I always put it off.
I can speak for myself, I never convey messages, I like to convey the emotions that strike me as I paint.
This last painting, for example, is not even finished and already I am satisfied with it, and I don't get that often.
