“Painting is a blind man's profession. He paints not what he sees, but what he feels, what he tells himself about what he has seen.”
— Pablo Picasso
Simplified Meaning:
When an artist creates a painting, they don't just copy what they see with their eyes. Instead, they use their emotions and thoughts to shape their work. Imagine someone who is blind telling a story about a beautiful sunset they've never seen. They would describe it based on how they imagine it feels and what they think it looks like, not from actual sight. Similarly, a painter uses their inner feelings and personal perceptions to create their art. This means they put a lot of their own personality and emotions into their paintings. For example, if something makes a painter very happy, they might use bright colors and energetic shapes, even if the actual object isn’t that colorful or lively. This approach allows them to create unique and expressive art that shows their inner world, not just the outside appearance of things.
