Cooking a dish and dedicating it to a special person, playing our favorite record to clean, water and care for the plants in our home, and hundreds of other daily actions. Far from being present only in art galleries and museums, Art is found even in the smallest details and aspects of our daily lives.. With the Alicante Open Art Festival, held at the Las Cigarreras space until October 26, we review the importance of this discipline in our daily lives.
Alexandra Knie, a German visual artist with a degree in Fine Arts and specialized in the intersection of art, craft and science, highlights how artistic expression is found in our daily lives: “Many people believe that art is only what is found in galleries., And it is not like that. In fact, in the smallest actions of our daily life we find the true essence of art.”
“Art is anything that involves a creative process,” says Knie. Regarding how artistic expression helps us face everyday life and improve as people, he points out that it goes through perform basic actions such as “cooking, decorating our house or having a fruitful conversation.” “Art does not solve our problems, but it does help us move forward and try to solve them,” he says.

How many times, when going through a bad patch, or, on the contrary, when going through a moment of extreme happiness, have we turned, for example, to music? From playing a sad song when going through a bad moment and, with it, sinking deeper and crying until we can’t breathe to turning up the volume to the maximum in the car to listen to that song that gives us so much energy. Music is one of the artistic expressions that most reflects the importance and presence of art. in our daily life.
Art and science
The difference between art and science, according to Alexandra Knie, is minimal. “Scientists and artists are very similar in the way they work and raise questions,” he highlights. “The only difference that exists between art and science lies in the empirical logic used in science and in the freedom to connect fields of various disciplines that characterizes art,” he states about the difference between art and science. .
When it comes to working, more and more artists and scientists make use of technologies such as laboratories and artificial intelligence, a common point that emphasizes the similarity between the two disciplines. “It is clear that science helps solve big problems such as diseases, or great technological advances, however, art helps us in a more visual way to question and reflect on a certain issue,” says Alexandra.

Art is a reflection of what happens in the world and, as Alexandra points out, “we cannot separate such important concepts as biology, sustainability and science in general, from art.”
Live without art?
Could we live without art? Alexandra Knie concludes that this discipline is so present in our lives that eliminating it would mean giving up everything that gives us pleasure. “Art also helps us understand another person“, he states. And thus he ends by emphasizing that “what I may consider art, another person may see as something insignificant, and the simple conversation that this discrepancy entails is a creative and empathetic act.”
