Your brain deconstruct images in a very specyfic way. When looking at a painting from a distance your brain fills up the gaps. Your imagination works in a sub-level, painting like that I want to plug into your subconscious. It forces the brain to conjure up an extremely personal interpretation of it. If the painting had been painted like a detail photographic representation, the brain wouldn't have to fill in the gaps. By causing it, our experience becomes more visceral, with our brain applying memories and very deep emotions to the work. My personal belief is that is better to quickly capture the essence of the subject, rather than its details. I apply colours with as little mixing as possible, creating a vibrant surface, "the optical mixing" should occur in your eyes as a viewer with your personal interpretation.

Wasn't there another story of Pablo; That he got a monkey, which he gave a pencil and a canvas. The painting was rubbish, but of course, since Pablo signed it under his name, the experts praised the hell out of the painting. Apparently the painting was sold, for a ridiculous amount, upon which Pablo revealed the monkey had made it. Since the experts enjoyed so much the idea of letting a monkey doing it, the acclaim was not changed. Don't know if it's true. Probably not.

Picasso replied, They have left because there is no grass left. The picture was sold for millions of pounds and

Some painters transform the sun into a yellow spot, others transform a yellow spot into the sun. The hidden harmony is better than obvious. Art is the lie that enables us to realize the truth. Genius quotes
