Questions & Answers about Para mí, el arte moderno es complicado.

Why do we use "para" instead of "por" in this sentence?
In Spanish, we use para when expressing an opinion or personal perspective. Para mí translates to "in my opinion" or "for me."
Why does "mí" have an accent mark?
The accent mark distinguishes the pronoun mí (me), which is used after prepositions like para, from the possessive word mi (my), which is used before nouns like in mi coche (my car).
Is the word "arte" masculine or feminine?
In the singular form used here, arte is treated as masculine. That is why it pairs with the masculine article el and the masculine adjective moderno.
Could I use "está" instead of "es" here?
You need to use es (from the verb ser) because the speaker is describing an inherent, general characteristic of modern art. If you used está (from estar), it would sound like modern art is only temporarily complicated right now.
