Realism VS Distorted: Who will be the one?

Realism and distorted? Which one do I prefer? If you're going to ask me which of the two, honestly speaking, I don't know what to choose. Why? Because these two art is very different with each other. In realism, we tend to copy the exact detail of a photograph or an art. But in distorted art, we portray it as a different approach. We gave our own meaning to it in a way that it's not easy to understand. In a way that, the only artist himself can explain. Art distortion has different meanings. When you search it on the net, many meanings will popped up. Distortion is any change made by an artist in the size, position, or general character of forms based on visual perception, when those forms are organized into a pictorial image. It is condition of being twisted or bent out of shape. In art, distortion is often used as an expressive technique.

As an artist kuno, I should explore different kinds of doing arts. I should not stick myself in one kind of art that I know I'm already good at it. Since I need to choose one from realistic or distorted, I would choose distorted art. Why? Because in distorted art, any artists can make their own artistic rendition of an art. It reveals who and what the artist is. The feelings, emotions, you can see it in distorted art. Making distorted art is unique. In making distorted art, an artist can do whatever he/she wants in the subject. He/She can change the look of the subject in a different way. In distorted art, you will see how creative the artist is. I appreciate doing distorted art more that realistic art. And it's easy for me to make a distorted art than a realistic one.

Whether it is a realistic or distorted art, it doesn’t really matters because all I know is, what I’m doing is an art, and what I am about to do is to go deeper through art. As long as I know in myself that I can make art, I will make arts. Thought I don't have that talent in making a klauzura ("sketch" By the way, I learned that word from our professor in drawing class. Haha.) I will practice and practice for me to be a great artist in the future.
