The art of painting is the expression of ideas and emotions, with the creation of certain aesthetic qualities in a two
dimensions. It is an application of colour, pigment or paint to a surface. The painting shapes, lines, colours, tones and
textures are used in various ways to produce sensations of volume, space, movement and light on a flat surface. These
elements are combined into expressive patterns in order to represents real or supernatural phenomena, to interpret a
narrative theme, or to create wholly abstract visual relationships. The artist communicates his visual message in
terms of the qualities and expressive possibilities and limitations of a particular medium technique and form.
