That's what they want you to think.

artist does not = a good mathematician, at least this one does not

But the two are not incompatible. The Golden Ratio gets used a lot in art. And it took a lot of math to figure out how to paint in perspective.

subliminal math proably, i have noticed that in several of my works that poportions and angles and a ton of other stuff like proofs in image form that just pops up out of nowwhere and unintentional, and for those gifted in both obssessions and diciplines physical math is used very frequently and as ferverently as composition and design.
It is a very compatible possiblity, just not in this artist, for some crazy math is a strange area for my brain. terrible at basic algebra (as far as the test states) but the more advanced or difficult the math would be the higher my scores would be without any explainablity. but hey that is just the life of crazy me.

i think i should rephrase that, it can still be subliminal, but i think instinctual math is a better term for the idea i am trying to convey.

Yeah I was painting something last night and only after I'd got as much done as I had time to paint did I notice that 2 parts of the painting are more or less mirror images of each other LOL

Mirror images are very likely conscious choices. I'm guessing you don't plan out what you're painting too much, but it's highly unlikely that symmetry came unconsciously. It may have been a bit autonomous, but that would probably have been from a history of doing symmetrical things.

Well it wasn't perfectly symmetrical, but close enough to look like it. What I mean is I didn't actually plan it, it just kinda happened. It's entirely possible that it's an ingrained habit, but I didn't actually sit there and say hey let's make this part symmetrical. Actually what I was doing more than anything was trying out different techniques with a sponge since I've never painted with one until recently. So if it happens to look good, it's total chance.

I think most of the symbolism behind famous paintings is bull. Whether it's true oor not, who cares?

has anyone seen vanilla sky? It is a awesome movie with a lot of twists.

Haven't seen it. The latest I've seen are the dark (and mediocre) The Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys, and About a Boy, which was pretty funny. No, there's no particular reason for the common theme.
