Why do images 'speak' to us without words?
By Swistek | 8/11/2025
Have you ever stood in front of a painting and felt that it says something to you – even though neither you nor it made a sound?
It's the magic of color, composition, and light. Artists have been experimenting for centuries with how the eye and brain react to combinations of colors and shapes.
In Van Gogh's “Starry Night,” the swirling brush strokes almost pulsate with energy. In Rothko's minimalist works, colors become a space for meditation. And in Beksiński's pieces, darkness and surrealism draw us into a world that is both alien and strangely familiar.
Art is not just a “pretty picture” – it's a language of emotions that we learn by looking.
And you? Do you prefer images that calm you, or those that stir up a storm in your head?
