Visual artists take advantage of coincidence during the process of creating their compositions in many ways effectively. They prefer exploiting coincidence and irregularity for many reasons for the purpose of originality and creativity. The concept of coincidence is a creative and desired component of fiction for the visual artists that prefer it. Various artistic forms that occur by means of coincidence generate new starting points by interactional movements for artists as a dynamic and creative component. This exceptional creative circumstance of coincidence was experienced by numerous artists. Furthermore, some visual artist make use of coincidence directly in their artworks as virtuoso and they created originative and reformist works even beyond the expectations. On the other hand, some of the artists that make use of coincidence are not advocate of complete domination of irregularity and lack of control on their works.
