Our Walls, Our Rules: Beyond Structure, Into Expression

Our Walls, Our Rules: Beyond Structure, Into Expression

Have you ever questioned what is the actual role of your walls? They seem to hold the structure, but is this truly the case? Some people smash off their spacious living rooms by pursuing extra room. Others break them down and open up specific areas of their interiors. As you notice, these steps are mainly extraneous to the structural strength of the building. On the flip side, they are intensely connected to our lifestyle and how we desire to shape our surroundings.

Walls separate and join things that belong to each other based on our perception of existence and how we live. These concealed, thereby hidden aspects have been mostly forgotten because we are all concentrated on their functional use. Nonetheless, if you stay focused, you will realize that only a few special people can access your bedroom or bathroom. Given their discrete essence, these walls are rarely visible to the general. On the opposite end of the spectrum, the walls of your living space are a portal to others, where you can voice yourself to all of those who come, from family to friends and acquaintances.

Are They Just Walls?

Did you know that in medieval castles, walls served not only as boundaries but also as storytellers? Tapestries portraying wars, hunts, or events from the Bible are often seen, denoting the homeowner's prosperity, values, and heritage. In the exact same way, your walls can tell your own unique story through art.

Not each wall shares identical markers. This is a significant aspect to bear in mind while picking up your wall art items. Your choice must be influenced not only by the room's décor and palette but also by your tastes. As a result, your wall art picks will reflect your uniqueness and taste, empowering you to personalize your living space.

A New Trending Option: Glass Wall Art Pieces

Why prefer glass over standard frames? In contrast to other paintings, glass's upscale, natural, crystalline features deliver dimensionality to interiors while illuminating light. These distinguishing differences in striking glass wall decors enrich this novel concept as a stylish and tempting substitute for conventional ones.

Actually, glass art has been adored for generations, from the elaborate stained glass windows of Gothic cathedrals to Dale Chihuly's futuristic masterpieces. It is an art form that surpasses time, fusing comfort and outstanding aesthetics. Further, the phenomenal adaptability of custom-implementing these glass wall art pieces gives you a more independent ambiance.

For instance, choosing our flower market series or wildflowers by Van Gogh, Klimt, or Monet for the walls near your balcony door will surely heighten your balcony's blooming impression while fetching your devotion to timeless paintings. Van Gogh once said, "What would life be if we had no courage to attempt anything?" By using potent and initial patterns like flowers, you foster confidence and imagination in your home.

You can also select glass wall art that complements the color scheme of your house design. You could opt for a monochromatic approach or prefer transversal colors to balance the overall feeling and achieve an equilibrium outlook. Abstract paintings such as Kandinsky or Mondrian are a prime option if the palette serves as your reference point. Are you struggling to uncover the right hues for any space? Please check out our blog, "Harmonies and Contrasts Beyond the Eye: Our Color Perception."

Do you like to be encircled by photographs of your loved ones as soon as you open your eyes in the morning? You can create a glass wall art piece by merging incredible snapshots from your life. The option is yours; perhaps some priceless photos from your trips with your lover or some happy family photos that give you great memories and confidence—even photographs of your dog as a puppy. "Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time," as Thomas Merton wonderfully observed. With ArtDesigna's Custom Glass Prints, you can readily transform anything into gorgeous glass wall art.

Become Your Own Art Critic, Artist, and Model, if You Like, All at the Same Time

Remember the unforgettable dialogue between Katherine Watson and her students Susan Delacorte and Betty Watten in the legendary movie Mona Lisa Smile? For those who do not remember, this epic movie is about an ambitious art teacher, Katherine Watson, who wanted to make a difference in the worlds of her students. The year was the 1950s, and so many rules and blockages restrained students from thinking freely. Thus, Katherine Watson directed several questions to push her students to think outside the box about the concept of art.

K.W.: Is it art?

S.D.: It's a snapshot.

K.W.: If I told you Ansel Adams had taken it, would that make a difference?

B.W.: Art isn't art until someone says it is.

K.W.: It's art!

B.W.: The right people.

K.W.: And who are they?

Watson's response, "And who are they?" leaves the question of who holds the authority to define art lingering in the air. This open-ended query invites us to assess the eclectic factors impacting our perception of art. Today, in a world of giant question marks, we all know you are the only person who can define art! Not a bunch of people with hands on their hips!

"Art is standing with one hand extended into the universe and one hand extended into the world and letting ourselves be a conduit for passing energy.", expresses the genius Einstein. Simply release yourself from the clichés and pick your own way of phrase among hundreds of artworks in ArtDesigna's magnificent galleries! Let your heart and insight choose the perfect match for you!
