Everyday Art

“Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up.”
― Pablo Picasso

By means of photography, which in itself is a form of art, we are introduced to various imageries particularly preserved on social networking sites.

Every day we chance on some random images with some queer artistic impressions. They represent what artists all of can be oftentimes without necessarily setting out to be creative. Some are amazing and some a little creepy.

 However many of these represent again the sheer amount of artistry in our nature and how Visual arts impacts our lifestyles significantly. These days, we employ art to mock people; through some amateurish graphic designs and also bring some worrying social challenges to the limelight without having to write long scripts.

“Life in itself is an art”. Over the next few weeks, I would be on a journey to find a few ordinary photographs whose content have some unusual artistic impressions. When I say ordinary, I mean photographs taken by amateurs with funny cameras without any intended concept. Mind you, they are not necessarily the creation of any professional artist. 

They are ordinary people in their ordinary lives, making mistakes, correcting their mistakes or going about what they consider their business or fun unfiltered and unedited.

Check out a few of these pictures and more in my next updates.

Also watch out for the first budding artist I feature exclusively on Abifao Creatives....
