ART AND CREATIVITY Art is all around us, and it's beautiful. But to truly appreciate it, we need to understand what it means. We see art every day, in the natural world, in music, in paintings, and in many other forms. Anything that inspires our minds, sparks our creativity, and makes us feel something is art. For something to be considered art, it needs three important things: 1. Skill: The person creating it needs to be good at what they do. 2. Imagination: They need to think of something new and original. 3. Creativity: They need to make something unique and special. When we see something beautiful, like birds flying in a triangle, we can draw it and make it art. We can also find art in music, poetry, acting, and many other forms. Art has the power to inspire us, make us think, and bring us joy. In our daily lives, we can find art in many places. We can see it in the way a sunset looks, in the sound of a river flowing, or in the smell of a delicious meal. We can even find art in our own thoughts and ideas. So, let's appreciate art and creativity in all its forms. Let's inspire each other to think differently, create something new, and make the world a more beautiful place.

🎨 Art is not about what you see but what you make others see. - Edgar Degas 🎨 As artists, we have the incredible ability to take what is in our minds and hearts and translate it into something tangible, something that can evoke emotions and spark conversations. Our work has the power to make people see the world in a different light, to challenge perspectives, and to inspire change. In a world full of noise and distractions, art has the unique ability to cut through the clutter and speak directly to the soul. It has the power to transcend language and cultural barriers, connecting us on a deeper level and reminding us of our shared humanity. Here are some reflections on the impact of art: 🌟 Art has the power to evoke emotions that words cannot express. 🌟 It challenges us to think beyond the surface and delve into the depths of our own emotions. 🌟 Art encourages us to embrace creativity, openness, and vulnerability. 🌟 It serves as a mirror reflecting the beauty and complexity of the human experience. 🌟 Art has the potential to spark important conversations and provoke change. Let us continue to harness the transformative power of art, using our creative talents to uplift, inspire, and unite. Together, we can make a difference, one brushstroke at a time.

I drew my new LinkedIn profile picture! Being a multidisciplinary artist has been one of the greatest experiences of my life. I may not always be an artist; life may take me to finance or behavioral economics, but while I am an artist, I’ve enjoyed the freedom it’s gifted me. Art has taught me to express myself freely, no matter what that expression looks like. Art has taught me that if someone says something is art, then it is art (life doesn’t have to always be so complicated). Art has taught me to live by my own standards and not the standards of dead people (traditions) or alive people (everyone inserting their well meaning yet unasked for “opinions”). Art has taught me that who I am is the greatest gift I’ve been given. Art has changed the world time and time again and it will continue to. So don’t discount the power of art in your life! 🎨If you’d like to commission a drawing of yourself or a loved one, email me at [email protected].

Am I someone (yet)? Although I have always been a dreamy boy, thanks to all the movies I’ve watched since I was a child, I think I have never seen myself as someone who will have a very bright future. In a few words, I just think my name, Juan Sánchez de Ocaña Ramírez, is not a very artistic one. Maybe that is a stupid reason, but I can’t change my mind about it. However, I think that I actually manipulate myself with that argument as an excuse. Art isn’t just a name. Art is experiences, and movies or books, and peaceful and beautiful lives. Art is what I write when I want to let people know I am someone despite my common name. Maybe not an important “someone”, maybe not a valuable one. But one that never stops thinking about how art has changed his world, and how he wants to change it in some way. An example of my work: https://lnkd.in/dKYGkp5m

Why is art important, no matter what profession you're in? Here are three simple reasons to consider experiencing art every day: 1. Art Fosters Openness. Engaging with art enhances creativity, critical thinking, and emotional intelligence. It challenges us to see the world from different perspectives, promoting empathy and understanding—qualities essential in any field. 2. Art Revitalizes Our Spirit. Immersing ourselves in artistic experiences cultivates our imagination, leading to innovative problem-solving and fresh ideas. Art can spark a beginner's mind, with inspiration following closely behind. 3. Art Connects Us. Art serves as a powerful communication tool, allowing us to express complex concepts and emotions that might otherwise remain unspoken. Artists engage their audience, illustrating that what we feel inside can be depicted outwardly. Art brings us together and shows us that we are not alone. By engaging with and learning from art, we gain insight into ourselves and others, becoming more adaptable and perceptive in any industry. #art #inspiration #openminded #fineart #motivation

Art is not a competition. It’s a journey. Let's debunk the myth that art is a race to the finish line. Here’s why art is a personal voyage and not a contest: Personal Growth → Art is about growth, not just results. ↳ Every brushstroke, word, and note is a step closer to self-discovery. Unique Expression → No two artists see the world the same way. ↳ Your voice is distinct, and that’s your superpower. Diverse Perspectives → Art thrives on diversity. ↳ Every artist adds a unique thread to the tapestry of creativity. Collaborative Opportunities → Art invites collaboration, not competition. ↳ Musicians, writers, and artists often create magic together. Shared Experiences → Art connects people. ↳ It’s about sharing stories and experiences that resonate with others. So, how can you embrace this mindset? Shift Focus → Focus on your own journey. ↳ Celebrate your small wins along the way. Seek Inspiration → Find inspiration in others without comparing yourself. ↳ Learn from fellow artists and grow together. Encourage Others → Support your peers. ↳ Encourage them to explore their own paths. Remember, your art is yours alone. It's a reflection of your soul and spirit. The world needs your authentic voice, not a carbon copy of someone else’s.

Art is timeless. ♾️ Proust called art "translation." He believed everyone has art inside of themselves. 🎨 Art is about finding meaning in our experiences and transforming those experiences into something expressive and beautiful. It requires courage to put a tangible version of them out there for all to see, share, and, yes, judge. Art's purpose is to elicit an emotional response. By accessing memories triggered by something we see, hear, feel, or smell. "Unintentional" memories that are based on emotion. And allow us to see things in a new way. Imagination: making connections. Works of art are an extension of our feelings. So, when experiencing art, remember it's a window into another person’s view of the world. 🪟 Maybe even a better view of our own. "The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance." ~Aristotle~ Have you considered adding the value of voiceover to your marketing and advertising campaigns?

ACT OF ART: A Timeless Journey Of Expression. The act of creating art is a powerful and sacred process, one that transcends time and space. It is both a whisper and a roar, carrying with it the essence of human experience. Whether through delicate hands or bold, passionate movements, art is born from the depths of the soul, shaping the world with its transformative power. Art manifests in countless forms a gentle brushstroke, the carving of stone, a dance in the shadows, or a song that illuminates the heart. It challenges conventions, breaks boundaries, and turns the ordinary into the extraordinary. It exists as a bridge between chaos and order, crafted with care to reveal the beauty hidden in the unexpected. More than just a creative endeavor, art is a reflection of life’s fleeting yet boundless nature. It captures moments, emotions, and ideas, yet remains perpetually unfinished, open to interpretation and evolution. Art does not claim to provide answers but instead invites questions, sparking curiosity and thought. At its foundation, art is a means of liberation. It frees the spirit, offering an outlet for self-expression and a connection to something greater. In every stroke of paint, every note of music, and every act of creation, the essence of life comes alive. Creating art is both bold and deeply personal, an enduring testament to the human desire to create, express, and connect. It is a timeless celebration of existence, capturing the profound and the simple in equal measure, and reminding us of the infinite possibilities within us all. #akinkunmiakinbode #art #creative #MENtality #humanity #actofart #illustration #writing

Why Do I Create Art? From a young age, I’ve felt a pull towards something greater—a quiet yet persistent voice from my higher self guiding me towards expression through painting, drawing, and creating anything that brings a visual into reality. This voice has revealed a profound truth to me: in a world so filled with noise, the deeper messages, the whispers of the soul, are often drowned out. To be heard, to truly connect, I needed to change my approach—I needed to create visuals that activate consciousness. Art has become my sacred language, a way to communicate directly with the spirit, bypassing the chaos of words and the distractions of everyday life. Through colors, forms, and symbols, I am able to convey messages that resonate on a deeper level, touching places that words cannot reach. I have always known that I am here to shift consciousness. This calling has been my compass, guiding me through a journey rich with deep experiences, moments of profound insight, and times of intense transformation. Each piece of art I create is not just a visual—you are stepping into a portal, a space where the noise of the world fades away and the voice of your own higher self can be heard. It’s a space of connection, of understanding, and of expansion. My process is deeply intuitive. Each piece begins with a message that I receive in moments of stillness or meditation. Sometimes, it’s a vision, other times it’s a subtle nudge, an idea that takes root and grows within me until it must be expressed. I allow the art to unfold organically, trusting that the colors and forms that emerge are exactly what is needed to communicate the message at hand. The end result is always something that feels alive, resonant, and imbued with the energy of its own creation. I invite you to journey with me through my art. Whether you are seeking connection, insight, or simply a moment of stillness in a noisy world, I believe that there is something here for you. Each piece is not just a visual experience, but a gateway to deeper understanding and consciousness. Thank you for being a part of this journey with me. Together, through these visuals, we are shifting consciousness, one piece at a time. You can find more art work on my website -  https://lnkd.in/gSVA_CdC
