Elements such as clouds, rain, sun, galaxies, and so on are inexhaustible sources of inspiration for the artists. In every culture and country each element has its own significance, meaning and importance. Traveling from one place to another not only widen and changes the perception of an artist, for a particular phenomena, in fact, sometimes it even transforms the whole idea of creation and changes the way we use to look at things, earlier. Nostalgic and melancholic conditions erase almost all physical boundaries and the artist starts floating in a dreamlike world of imagination, where he creates something he never created before. Habitual, easily ignored things and factors in the past becomes center of interest; and connection with roots, reestablishes. This research not only aims to highlight the fact that the sky, which is full of life, is a source of communication for people from almost all domains of life, but it also compares the different emotional, religious, philosophical and cultural affiliations, in east and west, one has with the sky and of course, with its lively components like rain, clouds, colours etc. with reference to the artwork.
