“Aesthetics”
Aesthetics is commonly associated with having good taste or having an awareness of beauty. Some when using the word aesthetics usually are referring to something’s artistic appeal. Most people carry a lot of bias when it comes to this form of aesthetics maybe even more so then what a person is wearing or their physical attributes.

Picasso is a artist that you may never tire of. He is highly recognizable and as long as you’ve able to see you have caught glimpses of his works. He is another artist that the western world adores.

I feel that aesthetics is experienced on a personal level and wholly believe in the saying “beauty is in the eye of the beholder”. I behold the fact that people can find the same things beautiful but they will never feel completely the same way about such beauty. I believe that life and our personal experiences shape what we perceive and since no one has the same exact experiences at the same exact time...
