If you need some art fuel, listen to what South African artist Duncan Stewart says about art. I recently interviewed him for my podcast; his words are still resonating in my heart.
'Art is ingrained in our deepest being. Our collective experiences, DNA, genetic makeup, and contexts have made us all wonderfully unique. In our own right, every human being is a magnificent artwork.
Art can bypass our intellect and rational thinking, and it can penetrate the soul and we can be moved. It’s a language by which we can connect on a deep level.’
Good stuff!
Now that should silence those nagging voices telling you why you even bother getting paint on your canvas, marks on your clay, or words on your paper.
You are not just making art. What you are creating has value.
Without even trying, you are expressing your uniqueness (which is
amazing) and you have that incredible ability to touch
hearts.
