" Illus ion" by Ligia Barna would be representative of the viewer's belief in the ease of creating art when the reality of creation is a complicated process. "Illusions" plays on the interdisciplinary nature of art and how different techniques are not restricted to one form of art.
The first third of the work is light and carefree as the son dancing against the light blue canvas. This lightness is representative of the viewer and his passive role in the creative process. It is in the second and third thirds of the painting we see the artist's role in the creative process. The pieces of instruments create the line between viewer and artist, and they serve as a link between the two. Art is their common experience. However, as the colors become more vivid (turquoise to own) the texture of the work also becomes more apparent in his use of charcoal, broken instruments, and thick layers paintings. All aspects are pulled toward the bottom of the table as if they were taking root to represent the investment of the artist in his art. The texture is visceral, tangible to show how the artist takes raw materials and pure inspiration to create a work.
The artist continues to push the boundaries of art while she uses different techniques to create a dialogue between the fluidity and abstraction. It incorporates sculpture and music in his painting with a sense of unity among the other art forms. In his use of the abstract the artist creates an essential interaction between the different elements. It blurs the relationship between concrete images and specific meanings, leaving the viewer to find their own conclusions and their own experiences with the table.
