Is Beauty Truly In The Eye Of The Beholder?

What is beauty? Is it the perception of pleasure to all our senses or is it the aura that emits from something or someone through sheer happiness. What is it?

Is the beauty in the flower or is it inside us that reflect?

The prose “Beauty Lies In The Eyes Of The Beholder” is a paraphrase of a statement by Greece philosopher Plato and is expressed by an Irish novelist in the 19th century.

The connection of beauty to the eyes of the beholder is much deeper that what it looks. Each individual have different inclination of what is beautiful.

A mathematician found beauty in theories and problems. An artist found beauty in exquisite artwork.

Neuroscientists at the New York University have found that a work of art activates the same part of human brain for every individual, but the intensity of activation depends on personal reflection.

Another study by the Neurobiologists at the University College London proved that whenever we find something beautiful, an area of brain just behind our eyes light up. This area is known for pleasure, value and judgment.

We find an art beautiful only when the activities and experiences stored in this part of the brain co-relates with the art we are viewing.
