Two worlds echo through my home. One smells of paint, canvas, and the quiet breath of an artist’s studio, the silence that allows color to dry and thoughts to mature. The other vibrates with the rhythm of music, the click of video edits, and the flickering light of a screen where emotions take shape in seconds.
Two different worlds — yet both breathe in the same rhythm: the rhythm of creation.
It’s a dialogue between generations, not a clash, but a conversation. I am an artist who believes in the power of craft, of touch, of time. He, my son, is a young creator who paints with light and movement instead of brushes and pigment. Where my art leaves traces on fabric, his leaves traces in the minds of thousands who watch. Every edit is his brushstroke, every rhythm his composition. He does not work with colors, but with feelings; his palette is made of light and sound.
And I ask myself: isn’t that a new dimension of art? An art that doesn’t need frames, exhibitions, or critics to exist. An art that is free, raw, emotional, instinctive. TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube aren’t they the galleries of our time? Fleeting, fast, chaotic — yet filled with authenticity. It’s there that young people reveal their worlds, their fears, their joys, with a courage that we, adults, sometimes forget.
Their art lasts only a few seconds, yet it lingers for days. They don’t seek to impress; they seek to feel.
They don’t chase theory — they follow intuition. In their world, emotions are the new language of art, the new currency of communication.
Sometimes I wonder — is it wrong that everything happens so fast now? I don’t think so. Because at this speed, there is something profoundly human. This urgency is not shallowness; it’s a cry for connection.
A need to be seen, to be heard, to be understood. What we once expressed on canvas, they express in a frame. What we said through words, they tell through sound and movement.
We don’t need to understand everything to recognize its value. We don’t need to analyze every trend to see its emotional truth. Perhaps this fleetingness — this pulse — is the new language of artists. A language of a generation unafraid to be vulnerable, to show imperfection, to share what’s real. A language that blends art and life, heart and technology.
In my home, these two worlds coexist. Paint and pixels. Canvas and screen. Silence and rhythm. They don’t compete — they listen to each other. Because when art meets technology, and intuition meets awareness, something extraordinary happens: a dialogue beyond age, beyond format, beyond time.
“Between silence and sound, between color and light — that’s where generations of creators meet.”
