Feeling distanced from what’s represented in the artwork, perhaps a feeling that it’s unattainable (since art is a representation rather than reality).
An opinion, belief, or other expression (as expressed by the artist).
Creativity.
For more clues to meaning, consider the subject and context of the piece, and how you felt about it.
Creating art can represent: expression, creativity, communication, freedom, releasing inhibitions (or the need for more of such), extra focus on or thought about the person or topic portrayed in the art, feeling particularly creative during the dream state.
