Art is a very personal thing. One person likes landscapes, others like portraits, others have different styles- Impressionism, Realism, Pointillism and they are all meaningful in their own ways to different people - or even the same person depending upon where they are in the timeline of their life.
It’s always interesting- no matter the artist- how and what they create. How they “pull it out of themselves- what they see as being worthy to create. For some it’s still life images, of other’s, it’s a sunset, still others, it could be total abstractions a la Jackson Pollack.

Can we not afford to have art within our lives as it helps bring out the emotional aspects and feelings of creation that we see in the objects of our creative vision?

Simply do what you are doing right now, surf the web.
