Abstract

In the long journey of trying to encounter his essences a human being succeeded in overcoming a multitude of obstacles. Nonetheless, in the process of this quest, an individual seemed to have concentrated excessively on purely theoretical conceptualization prioritizing the concept over sentiment. The divergence between word and action could lead us to recite routinely various notions without activity applying then to our daily existence, creating more and more widening gap between concept and sensibility. Therefore, in the process of assigning a concrete significance to the concept of human rights we tempt to overlook the importance of the sensation that this notion evokes. This sensation goes beyond the mere meaning of the words involving our entire being on the emotional level. Throughout, the human history art has been the best vehicle for prioritizing this emotional involvement. There is a profound and intrinsic connection between art and the notion of human rights. In this article, the author will demonstrated this connection. Both disciplines, art and theory of human rights, have served as inspiration for one and other, interpreting in conjoined manner could give us a more profound sense of humanity.
