Битието

The final result of the creative process is the creation of an artistic image, which has a tangible, sensory-perceptible body thanks to the material characteristic of the type of art (words, sounds, stone, clay, wood, body movements, etc.) and which begins to exist outside the creative consciousness that created it. Today, the process of artistic creation is viewed as a duality of a kind of reflection of reality and objective, creative activity, through which the artistic image is created as a "new object of the objective world." And this duality is indicated as the most characteristic feature of the image, by means of which all its other features could be explained. It is indeed impossible to speak of the artistic image only as the content of consciousness. In the head of the writer, painter, sculptor, etc. There is only an idea, which in the creative process is developed and transformed into an artistic image - into a special reality (called by some theorists "aesthetic reality"), into an object that already opposes any aesthetic consciousness, because it exists independently of it (in what sense and to what extent, this will be clarified below). Thus, the idea, transformed into an artistic image, receives its own existence - the existence of the artistic image. The latter seems to live its own life (sometimes with a very changeable and strange fate - Hamlet, the Mona Lisa), which often transcends centuries and millennia and remains an immortal possession of humanity.
