Answer:
I think artists often choose a symbolic approach to their artwork because it can share their point of view of many things. Symbolic approaches to artwork also make viewers more interested in the piece and be able to see the multiple layers of meaning of a piece that would be a mystery to anyone who wasn't interested, even if the meanings are obvious. Symbolic art can also allow artists to spread messages like their religious views, with art that shows their view of what the afterlife - or "otherside" - in their religion looks like and share their wordly views.
