All Art is about sharing a pov with another. Period. So you are saying something by your choices no matter what you paint.
No need to disparage those who put a lot of research or meaning into their art, or to say it isn’t ’for arts sake’ as if ‘meaningless’ art is the only art that is for the sake of art. Play will always be a part of being creative. That is the process. But art is always about documenting and usually sharing a POV. How YOU see something.
