Why is black and white so beautiful as an aesthetic? For me — the sublime zen bliss I get from monochrome:

Aesthetics as an Ethos

The aesthetics you prefer is an ethos which means:

Your way of seeing, approaching the world is congruent with your aesthetic tastes.

For example, I prefer simple and minimalist living, and thus I think my aesthetics in my artwork reflects that as well.
