What exactly are you picturing when someone says "elegant" or "artful" code?
To me, elegant code is DRY code. Elegant code is code with useful abstractions where needed, and no abstractions where they just complicate matters. Code that is succinct yet clearly communicates its purpose.
From the sounds of it, you have an entirely different conception of what elegant code looks like.
