Dated : 24 April 2020. Amidst a nationwide lockdown in my country . Some of the shareable "lines" from my morning pages:
As I search for topics in my mind to make art on , I realise how important it is for me as an artist to go inwards . I also realise how it is one of the most overlooked topics. Art is supposed to be all about how " real" or how " perfect" is the subject - art/ landscape / Flowers. It has become all about scrolling through pinterest finding the right "pin" to replicate.
Instagram is becoming a competitive space for artists .
But as I dig deeper I realise how important is the other side . The art that should connect to your heart, the art that comes from the heart, and the art that reaches the viewers soul.
And this is beyond subjects, beyond skills and beyond perfection.
This I know would be vulnerable , imperfect but still simple and honest.
