Conceptual Framework: The relationship between Poetry and the Visual Arts is often intertwined and fascinating. Poetry serves as a source of inspiration for visual artists, translating words and images into visual representations. Conversely, Poetics in Art refers to the art's ability to evoke emotions, convey ideas, and provoke thoughts in a manner similar to poetry. Such expressions may include the use of symbolism, emphasis on aesthetics, or the creation of a strong atmosphere. The poetic approach to art is a form of expression where the artist focuses more on expression and personal symbolism than on the depiction of reality. In this context, art becomes a form of poetry, where each work represents a form of inner narration, opening a dialogue between the creator and the observer. The poetry of art is the art of storytelling through images and symbols, creating a dream or a thought on canvas or in stone. It is the translation of verbal poetry into visual narratives, touching the soul and stimulating the imagination, much like poetry dances between words.
