Unlike AI-generated or digital art, traditional painting carries irreplaceable physical presence: texture of brushstrokes, subtle imperfections, the smell of oil, the way light interacts with layered pigment on canvas. These qualities create an intimate, unreproducible aura that screens cannot replicate.In an era flooded with infinite perfect copies, the singularity of a hand-made painting—its slowness, its traces of human decision and hesitation—becomes more precious, not less. It stands as quiet resistance to dematerialization and algorithmic sameness.Painting still matters because it reminds us that some experiences remain stubbornly analog, slow, and human.https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2023 https://www.frieze.com/article/painting-dead-again https://hyperallergic.com/why-painting-still-matters
