Throughout history, art work has depicted alien and UFO portrayals, but is it really alien or is it a religious understanding? Religion in many cases is hard to truly understand as it is based primarily on faith rather than on actual encounters. However, many have had spiritual encounters that resemble that of an extra-terrestrial encounter. It is hard to say if what people have encountered is something of the spiritual realm, a government experiment, or beings from another world. Though, current UFO artwork has been thought to be government experimentation as disguised aliens, what about artwork from the twelfth century? Think about the descriptions of the following pieces; religious or alien?

Fifteenth Century Sketch

A sketch from the fifteenth century, thought to depict John the Baptist teaching on the revelation to a disciple shows a glowing oval UFO like image in the upper right hand of the sketch and a beaming light hitting the apostle John in the face. Is it a depiction of extra-terrestrial beings or God?

La Tebaide

In many religions and throughout historical evidence, a man named Jesus Christ was hung on the cross. Many believed him to be the son of God. In the depiction of La Tebaide, from 1396, you see a glowing oval object UFO behind the man on the cross. The blown up image to the right shows a better view of the image. It looks like an alien space-ship yet others believe it is God coming to take Jesus home. Alien or Spiritual?

The Crucifixion

In the crucifixion, a 1350 AD piece, a man is surrounded by a light beam in the shape of a UFO. Though this was a depiction of a spiritual encounter, with an oval shape and beaming glow, it resembles a type of extra-terrestrial UFO type of portrayal. Other pieces from this artist also depict UFO type bubbles taking the Christ to heaven.

Though, many believe in aliens, it may be possible that these are more than just an alien encounter. Could it be that UFO sightings are actually from the spiritual realm? With governmental agencies and mass media, it is hard to tell what is the Truth and what is not, however, many artists create pieces based on actual encounters. It seems artists throughout history and even thousands of years ago experienced something that was indescribable in words, yet intricate in art. With religious depictions resembling modern alien encounters, one begins to wonder, whether alien encounters are actually part of a spiritual encounter. Whether religious or alien, you must decide for yourself.

Some believe in extra-terrestrial life forms others think it is an overactive imagination to scare, create conversation, or to make money. Have you seen a UFO? Chances are if you have, you are one of the ones that believe aliens truly exist. Many have seen sightings of UFOs and are truly convinced that alien life forms exist and are here research and experiment on us. In fact those that have claimed to have seen UFOs are very detailed in their explanation of what they have seen so much so that it is hard to believe they could come up with something so intricate all on their own.

Historic displays of aliens

Throughout history, artists have depicted their encounters in the art work they create. From almost twenty-nine thousand years ago to present day, alien art work has made its way into our culture. Whether it is really extra-terrestrial invasions or mass-media hysteria, you will find it interesting that even artwork from twenty-nine thousand years ago revealed alien invasion. With big eyes oval shaped eyes, round oblong heads, and weird shaped bodies, a twenty-nine thousand year old painting comes to us all the way from Tanzania, Africa depicting a scuffle of four alien men over a female. On a rock painting in Sego Canyon Utah, around 5000 BC depicts numerous alien figures. Even earlier art work gives us a description of alien life forms.

Historic Displays of UFOs

Though, aliens are not all that people have portrayed in their art works. Though not called UFOs thousands of years ago, people also portrayed what they saw coming out of the sky. A Japanese picture from around 900 AD depicts a UFO that they called the burning wheel. In Europe, art work depicts a battle in the sky with flying circles and strange triangular shaped aircrafts. Getting closer to more modern works, a loyal paladin celebrates the coming of a UFO shaped star. Though, strange, these depictions bring light to new curiosity of extra-terrestrial sightings.

Throughout history the seemingly strange encounters don’t really change. Looking back at art work from various cultures, as well as throughout various years, artists have depicted alien life form. Is it Mass Media? An overactive imagination? Or, could it be that alien life forms truly exist. The intricate pieces portrayed by artists tell us a story of personal encounters which is why these pieces spark the interests of many. Look up in the sky; have you seen a UFO?

What is it about UFO art that is so popular? Think about the detail of the art work. It is not often that a person has a camera during an extra-terrestrial encounter; therefore an artist must either have a vivid imagination or have actually seen what they portray in their art work. With such intricate detail, it is quite ludicrous to believe that someone could come up with something like that purely from their head. Because the detail gives way to the possibility of alien life forms, others are fascinated by it. Curiosity gets the best of us, and the possibility of other life forms intrigues us. One such artist that captivates the world of alien gurus is Jim Nichols. With personal experiences, Nichols portrays the beautiful yet unknown depictions of life forms that we can only imagine.

He is also involved in the famous internet interview show in which the panel asks their guests to reveal a new reality in their field.

What Nichols Believes

Jim Nichols artist and researcher takes pride in his numerous UFO art displays even though he believes they are government research covers. He has also written several books on UFO sightings as well as more than twenty one blogs on his website based on personal experiences.

For some UFO art work is just an overactive imagination, but for those who create these masterpieces, it is a life encounter that they can never forget. Though some are unsure as to whether or not these alien encounters are really extra-terrestrials or government experiments, one thing is true; UFO art strikes an interest and curiosity among them all. Many artists like Jim think they are government experiments yet some artists view them as peoples from another planet. No matter what the artist believes, UFO art is sure to make you wonder just what is out there.

To understand UFO art, you almost have to understand UFOs. Why would anyone want to look at pictures of UFO art that someone else has claimed to have seen? Well, there are many reasons why people love art, but there are even more reasons why people love UFO art.

Curiosity Behind UFOs

There is so much curiosity behind UFO art. Especially when the artist has claimed to actually of experienced the event. It’s incredible because how often do you have a camera with you when something like this happens? Either the artist has a vivid imagination or he actually experienced something absolutely phenomenal. Curiosity always gets the best of people and that’s why they love UFO art.

History of UFOs

The history of UFOs is simply astounding. Think back to when ancient tribes roamed the earth and they left little pictures of things they once experienced. UFO’s are connected to so many historical events and art is sometimes the only way to show it. Back in the day, art was the only way people could tell a story. They did not have cameras or video cameras to record what was going on. Today, people are lucky to have these contraptions, but they are not always lucky enough to catch it on a media device. UFO art allows the person who saw the UFO to tell their story.

Money in the Art World

There is a lot of money to be made in UFO art. There are a few ways you can make money through UFO art, but the bottom line is that you have to be good. If you are not good at drawing, then perhaps you can stick to telling the story or writing the story. On the other hand, if you are good at drawing, then you have something to make money on. Money can be made by you travelling and telling your story. People want to hear your story and they will love the pictures to go with it.

As you can see, there are a lot of reasons as to why someone would enjoy UFO art. For some it is the curiosity behind the artwork itself. For others, it’s the money in the industry because people are willing to pay big money for these types of paintings and drawings.  The history of UFOs is also enough to draw in a big crowd. No one may ever know what exists in these UFOs, but at least you can learn about the adventures of others through UFO artwork.

There are very few people who can mix UFO’s and art together. UFO’s have always been a mystery around the world. People think they have seen them and they want to know more about the creatures cruising around in them. Curiosity often gets the best of those who want to know more about UFO’s, but it’s not like you can go do the research on your own.

That curiosity gets the best of some people and they start creating UFO art. The term might sound like a foreign language to you, but it’s perfectly normal. James Nichols is a popular artist who does UFO art. He has hundreds of pieces of artwork that people cannot wait to get their hands on.

What makes his art so special?

First of all, there is hardly anyone in the world who does authentic UFO art. These are pictures he has experienced and created on his own. His imagination is simply amazing and that’s why people are attracted to them. Unidentified Flying Objects have been spotted all over the world and it’s rare you get an up-close-and-personal look at a UFO. With these art pieces, you get a firsthand look at UFO’s and the strange occurrences they carry with them.  The unique part of James is that he claims to of encountered these happenings. How unique for someone to create this art out of something they have claimed to see in the past.

Can I create art like this?

If you are an artist, then there is nothing wrong with taking a stab at this kind of art. It’s unique because it all comes from your imagination or UFO’s you have seen. It’s all about catching the curiosity and excitement of the UFO’s in a piece of art. If you can capture the uniqueness, then you can probably create UFO art. You can also take James’ approach and create art out of your own experiences. You can join the millions of people who are equally curious about what’s going on in space.

It’s hard to tell if you will get the same recognition as James Nichols, but it’s worth a shot. Telling the story behind your UFO art is the key to making the art sell. People can look at the picture all day long but they need something to draw them in. UFO art is very rare and it’s a matchless experience that many people seek out.
