Art has become a refuge for the people. Nowadays, people are stuck in the unending loop of their office to home and vice versa regime. There is hardly any scope of leisure activities for the working professionals. The professionals who have crossed their 40s are now in an existential crisis. They have a lot of money, but they are still searching for psychological refuge. Finding a perfect piece of art is like finding the missed part of the puzzle. 
Sometimes, we do not have words to say, feelings to express, but art helps us to portray our inner desires. Some people can paint and some people can write but not everyone can paint and write. Imagine you being a successful entrepreneur and want to express your feelings but you can’t paint or write a poem. 
You are invited to an art gallery and see a painting that clearly shows your psyche. What you will do? You will simply go and ask about the artist who has expressed your views on a canvas. Art is something that hits the masses with a single painting or poetry.
