My art is the expression of my feelings and my thoughts at that particular time and moment. I start with an idea and a vision. As I am creating and applying a planned technique, the art is happening almost beyond my control. It is an adventure and mistakes can be made. But the with courage, the mistakes can be overcome, even becoming a positive part of the process.
For me , it is important to be critical about every step during the creation of the piece. The process is the emotion and excitement and the art is the result. It may take some time to review and to decide whether or not I am satisfied with my work and how I feel about it. Will I show it and be open to listen to opinions? An artist needs to share their work with an audience and be prepared for anything. A positive feedback is the reward the artist is hoping for, but objective criticism can lead to a better result as well. It will create
the energy to keep working and to start a new adventure in art.
