The artist realizes that one steps beyond the borders of visual communication and, at the same time, it is clear that no such borders exist. The medium of the creator is a transparency of its receiver and this relationship is, undoubtedly, referentially and expressively appellative. The relevant topic is the openness of artwork, the openness of context, the reconnaissance of inter-contextual ties, potentialities, and possibilities of its effects. Semantic gesture is a vibration that harmonizes meaning intentions, appealing to take a certain stand, to „accept or rather adapt the suggested aesthetic perspective “. (J. Hoffmanová, 1991). Some realities seemed, seem, and are going to seem as unclear and hardly comprehensible relational consequences. Existence is illegible, incomprehensible, unclear…but there are some among us who have the exceptional ability to anticipate and foresee meaning consequences moments before we can think about them as such. Oftentimes, artists are such prophets, grasping such phenomena that occur to their contemporaries much later or, when their generation successors who got to the root of the issue that was, to their predecessors, obscure. Art work is not only a reflection of its time but also a sign of future changes. Artists, as a sensitive medium of society, can anticipate and reflect changing trends, thoughts, and paradigms, through their creations. They as if bridge the past, present, and future, and help us not only understand the world around us better but also us ourselves. Their creations are thus a mirror of our society, revealing not only that we can see on the surface but also that which is hidden deep below. And that’s why art is so necessary for our comprehension and interpretation of the world.
