Today April 15 Celebrating Creativity:

The Meaning of World Art Day

In the vast palette of human expression, art stands as a window into our collective soul. But what exactly does World Art Day celebrate and why should we pay attention to it?

Origins and History:

This day was proclaimed by the International Association of Plastic Arts (IAA/AIAP) to promote awareness of cultural diversity, creativity and artistic expression. It arose in homage to the birth of Leonardo da Vinci, a Renaissance master whose vision transcended his time. The UN recognizes this date as an opportunity to encourage art appreciation around the world.

Importance and Objectives:

Art is a mirror of society, reflecting its values, aspirations and challenges. World Art Day seeks to encourage intercultural dialogue, understanding and respect through the appreciation of art in all its forms.

Relationship with Leonardo da Vinci:

This Renaissance genius was not only an accomplished artist, but also a scientific visionary whose ideas transcended his time. Da Vinci laid the foundation for the modern scientific method and his influence endures to this day. He is recognized as a pillar in the celebration of World Art Day due to his exceptional contribution to the world of art and science.

Importance of Art Today:

In an increasingly digitalized world, art continues to be vital for our humanity. It not only connects us with our emotions and with others, but also challenges our perceptions and broadens our horizons. Artists face the challenge of standing out in a sea of digital content, but their creativity persists as a beacon of inspiration and reflection.

World Art Day is an opportunity to celebrate human creativity and support artists who enrich our lives with their unique vision. Carlos Apitz, renowned Venezuelan plastic artist, invites you to join in this celebration and value art as an invaluable treasure of our society.
