 Just saw an interesting art history take that the area around God is meant to look like a brain 🧠 the artist’s way of saying creation is in the mind or possibly that god is a creation of the mind. Art historians talk out of their ass a lot so take it with a grain of salt. 
 Everything is up to personal interpretation, you see what you're ready to see at that time

That's why when you revisit a piece of art years latter, you'll see something, you didn't see before 
 I like revisiting books for this reason. 
 Great Art is a riddle with many different hidden meanings

And, the messages are locked behind a life experience script 
 As an artist I’ve seen people inject or perceive meaning in a piece I never consciously created. 
 I faced it many times selling my art

People Project their own meaning 😂🤣
