As an artist I can 100% be sure to say that all artists struggled at least once during the creative process, I'm sure you also got stuck in your head looking at the canvas, feeling the social media pressure asking for you to be active or you will be forgotten because that happens to all of us small artists, we get forgotten pretty easy, and people don't realize how that has power over us, how it disturbs our creative process and how it can drive us crazy, make us feel bad and even not worth it. People that appreciate art should have all these factors when judging art, people should ask three questions before any final judgments...
- What is the feeling behind this art?
- How long did it take to developt this idea?
- How hard was it for the artist to draw this emotion?
Those 3 questions can give you a brand new perspective on art and how hard it is for us to show our emotions in art because besides all the pressure and time it took to create, we are still putting our heart into the canvas, making us a target and feeling vulnerable...
As an artist I can say that my value was never something I thought and now my self-esteem is low as ever, I'm afraid to show emotions so I draw them, I got hurt too many times to feel ok with showing my deepest thoughts, but I don't want you to follow my steps, I want u to be better to become a better version of yourself, never is enough and if you can achieve better don't be afraid and fight for it!
Be better, be amazing be the person of your dreams!
