Basically....I'm not a person that has eyes of seeing through art....or at most the eyes of Da Vinci....
However.....I'm definitely inspired and cracked me out from the box....like a can opener and a tuna can....
Moreover....I've been spending some time in galleries....sometimes....like Galeri Petronas that exhibits various activities 
                 and masterpieces, Starhill Gallery whereby they're having the Art Festival themed "Inspiration of Tomorrow" 
                 and the Muse level....

In a nutshell...

I've came out with my own definition of the term "art"
"Anything that the brain interprets differently."
one of e'm that caught my attention is the dedication of Yeak Ping Lian to the contribution of art development in Malaysia.
Born at the same date, but different year, Yeak PL has ADHD and has problems in his own development....
At first, he has problems with holding a pen....
Finally, he succeeded and brought his view on the surroundings to canvas and papers and pens and colours that has 
produced fine art....



Art is not just something beautiful....
I remembered reading an article on the portraits of 
Queen Elizabeth II....
whereby a portrait/sculpture of her is made 
from disgusting things and trash.....
named Medusa 



Yeah....I know....I feel sick too 
and thinking why are they so mean....


But that's simply one person's thought 
and creativity to produce such "thing" ...
which is still known as "art"....
(why is it considered art? refer to my definition of art above)
although 


it is against the majority perspective.....

Let's take this topic sip by sip , instead of one bunch at once....

Since Medusa has made a deep impression in the Greek mythology, the Queen has been an icon as well. 
Medusa made her appearance in Monsters Inc., Clash of the Titans , Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief, 
while the Queen has her own movie like Elizabeth II , and the Johnny English series. Furthermore, the Queen 
has her face printed on the currency of UK. 




                      Long live the queen,,,,,
                               God save the queen....
