David by Michaelangelo


Being an artist is a gift and at the same time a puzzle. Why a puzzle? Since most works of art have no literal meaning as for what it wants to relay or what does the artist wants to relay. Being an amateur artist, I find no meaning in the works that I have created, although some of them have a reason why I have created them. And speaking of meaning, what does the Daivd by Michaelangelo mean? Does it only portray David?

As I have searched through some websites in the Internet, the David portrays masculinity and of the art of a man's body. Well, you can see it for yourself. But does that mean that a man is beautiful when he is naked? Hmmm..
