I would suggest not to stress over it. If it's natural for you, you'll come
along and join the journey sometime in the future.

I have had a similar "issue", I never understood what do people see in art and
why it always seems so hyped up. But just by getting more mature, and exposing
yourself to different things and people, your perspective changes. That is
what happened to me. I've started to notice that my eyes were getting more and
more attracted to visual things. Photographs, paintings, etc. I've started to
notice more details, more things came into place, the reason behind some of
the works I've seen.

It's just my personal experience. I liked the natural transition. And it's
still happening. I think it will never end. But if you're naturally leaning
towards it, don't rush it. It's art. You don't have to understand it to love
it, but over time you'll love it even more as it reveals itself.

I don't feel much emotion when viewing art, but I'm a huge art lover.

Go to a museum and take a guided tour where they talk about the artists. You
should start to feel intellectual curiosity at the very least.

Best advice I can give to people who "don't get art" is to go to a museum and
get lost for a while.

Second best advice I can give is to not try to "figure art out". Don't try to
assign deep meaning to a piece that you think should have it. Yes, lots of art
works on multiple levels - in concept and in execution - but none of
to be the rawest kind of art is war memorials. The most
