#MondayMotivation Wise words from Magneto aka Sir Ian McKellen Practice any art. No matter how well or badly. To experience becoming. To make your soul grow. Such a powerful message! Many of us have probably felt like a deflated balloon, completely devoid of any creative spark from time to time. The truth is everyone is creative, but you need to discover your outlet. Like most things in life, creativity too needs nurturing and care. Practice art because: ✨Creative pursuits can take you down unexpected paths, leading to new ideas and different perspectives. ✨It encourages you to step outside your comfort zone, experiment, and embrace imperfection. This fosters a growth mindset - a powerful tool for navigating both personal and professional challenges. ✨Art allows you to express yourself in unique ways, giving voice to your inner world and fostering self-discovery. Because art is more than aesthetics; it's a journey inward. #art #creativepursuit #inspiration

The more art I create, the more I realize the reflection between art and life. Each piece becomes a life lesson and a journey into the creative possibilities harbored within the mind. Solutions to problems appear when not looking for them, when we surrender to not knowing. Curiosity brings one beyond self-inflicted limitations. I’m beginning to believe that every company should install an art program for employees to unearth their creative mojo, to open consciousness to truly innovative ideas and strategies. Art gives us permission to fail. And from that failure, discover wondrous success. Creativity guides us to places we can’t find without its influence. It rewires the brain, expands belief systems and calms the nervous system so that we can see life clearly. Here, obstacles transform into something breathtaking. Art is not just a painting that hangs on a wall, or words in a book, or sounds in a song. It’s an exploration into what is possible when you move beyond where you’ve already been into the unknown. Art is the voice of creativity asking you to trust. 🌀 #art #consciousness #creativity #spirituality #innovation #trust

🎨 Embrace the beauty of imperfection 🎨 In a world obsessed with perfection, let's take a moment to appreciate the beauty of imperfection. As artists, we have the unique ability to see the beauty in flaws, the magic in mistakes, and the wonder in the unexpected. Embracing imperfection is not a sign of weakness but a celebration of authenticity and individuality. ✨ Every brushstroke tells a story ✨ - Imperfections add character and depth to our work, making it more human and relatable. - Embrace the quirks and uniqueness of your art; let them be the voice that sets your work apart from the rest. - Remember, perfection is subjective, but authenticity is timeless. 🌟 Find perfection in imperfection 🌟 - The beauty of imperfection lies in its ability to evoke emotion and spark connection with the audience. - Embrace mistakes as opportunities for growth and learning rather than failures to be feared. - Let go of perfectionism and allow your creativity to flow freely, unencumbered by self-imposed limitations. 🌿 Dare to be imperfect, dare to be you 🌿 - Your art is a reflection of your journey, your experiences, and your unique perspective on the world. - Embrace imperfection not as a flaw to be hidden but as a strength to be celebrated. - Remember, it's our imperfections that make us beautifully human and authentically ourselves. 🎨 Embrace imperfection in your art, and witness the magic it brings to your work 🎨 #ArtisticJourney #EmbraceImperfection #CreativityUnleashed [Professional Artist Photo Attachment]

Life can be overwhelming. 😓 Daily routines, anxieties, and the sheer busyness of existence can leave us yearning for a break. This is where art steps in 🎨 , offering a powerful escape hatch. Through its many forms, art allows us to step away from the everyday and enter captivating new realms. 🚪 One of art's greatest strengths 💪 as an escape is its ability to transport us to entirely different worlds 🗺 . A sweeping fantasy novel whisks us away to mythical lands, while a film set in a far-off future lets us explore the possibilities of tomorrow. Even a simple painting can transport us to a peaceful beach 🏖 scene or a bustling city street 🏙 . Art becomes a portal, allowing us to experience the beauty, wonder, or thrill of something outside our own reality. Escapism isn't always about abandoning reality altogether. Art can also provide a form of escape by offering new perspectives on our own world. A thought-provoking sculpture 🗿 or a documentary film 📽 can challenge our assumptions and make us see the familiar in a new light. This type of escape can be enriching, prompting us to return to our daily lives with a renewed sense of understanding and purpose. Of course, it's important to acknowledge that constant escapism isn't always healthy 🚫 . Art should ideally serve as a temporary refuge, a place to recharge 🔌 and find inspiration before returning to our realities. The true power of art lies not just in its ability to take us away, but also in its potential to bring us back to ourselves, refreshed and ready to face the world with a new perspective 🤔. So, next time you're feeling the weight of the world on your shoulders, turn to art. Let it transport you, inspire you, or simply offer a moment of solace. Art is a gift, a doorway to countless worlds, waiting to be explored. 🧡 Written by: Krishnika Raman ✨ #unaeon #art #anxiety #inspiration #selfgrowth

🎨 Unlocking Creativity: Embracing Imperfection 🌟 As artists, we often strive for perfection in our work. But what if I told you that embracing imperfection can lead to even greater creativity? 🖌️ Embrace the Process: Instead of focusing solely on the end result, allow yourself to enjoy the creative process. Embrace the imperfections and mistakes along the way—they often lead to unexpected discoveries and breakthroughs. 🌿 Find Beauty in Imperfection: Just as nature's beauty lies in its imperfections, so too can our artwork. Embrace the uniqueness of each brushstroke, each line, each color. It's these imperfections that give our art character and depth. 🌈 Experiment and Explore: Don't be afraid to step outside your comfort zone and try new techniques, mediums, or styles. Experimentation is key to growth as an artist, and you never know what you might create until you explore the unknown. 🌟 Celebrate Uniqueness: Remember, your art is a reflection of your individuality and creativity. Celebrate what makes your work unique, and don't compare yourself to others. Your voice is valuable, and your art has the power to inspire and connect with others in profound ways. Let's embrace imperfection as a catalyst for creativity and innovation! 🎨✨ #ArtisticJourney #CreativityUnleashed #EmbraceImperfection #ArtistLife #LinkedInArtists

Why I Started Doing Art For the longest time, I wondered why I often felt unmotivated—why I would just lay around and avoid starting anything. Recently, I discovered the reason: I’m a perfectionist. I realized that my pursuit of perfection was holding me back. If I couldn’t do something flawlessly, I wouldn’t do it at all. That’s when I turned to art in my free time, and it has been a transformative experience. Art forces me to embrace imperfection. As I create, I notice countless mistakes and imperfections in the details. But instead of stopping, I push myself to keep going. This simple practice has taught me to let go of the need for perfection and focus on progress instead. It’s been freeing, and I can already see the positive impact it’s having on other areas of my life. If you’ve ever struggled with perfectionism, maybe this will resonate with you too: start something, embrace the flaws, and just keep going. You might be surprised by the progress you make. #Growth #Perfectionism #Art

Did you know you're painting... your reality every single moment? 🎨🧠 It's true! Your mind isn't just passively observing the world—it's actively creating your experience through selective attention and interpretation. Here's how: Your focus shapes your reality: What you pay attention to grows. Your interpretations color your world: The meaning you give events determines their impact. Your expectations often become self-fulfilling prophecies. This isn't just positive thinking—it's the science of perception and cognition. Your brain is constantly filtering, selecting, and interpreting information to create your unique experience. Remember, you're not just a viewer of your life—you're the artist. What masterpiece will you create today? Share one way you'll consciously shape your experience in the comments below! #mokshava #ConsciousCreativity #MindPower

As I spent my morning painting in my art studio, I reflected on the profound lessons Creativity has taught me. 🔹 Creativity isn't just about art - it's anything you bring to life from your soul and passion. 🔹 It thrives when you break free from rules, embracing the beauty of non-linear thinking. 🔹 It flourishes in your originality, in the YOU factor, when you stop comparing yourself to others and focus on your work and growth. 🔹 It blooms when you let go of perfection and welcome mistakes as stepping stones. 🔹 It radiates when you tap into your joy, happiness, and bliss. 🔹 It grows stronger when you allow yourself to learn and evolve through every misstep. 🔹 It shines when you learn to become your own positive critic, supporting your growth. 🔹 It endures with relentless determination, not giving up on your dreams. 🔹 It is nurtured in the right environment - at work or home, where your spirit can expand. In a world where AI can mimic creativity, it's the authenticity of your unique expression that sets you apart. How are you creating space for your creativity to thrive? Everyone has creativity within, waiting to be nurtured and expressed in ways only they can bring to life. The greatest minds, like Einstein, Steve Jobs, and Claude Monet, embraced this boundless spirit, pushing the limits of innovation, technology, and artistic expression. Imagine what you could achieve when you fully unleash your authenticity and creative power. Keep dreaming, keep pushing boundaries, and keep creating! #Creativity #Innovation #Originality #Inspiration #PersonalGrowth #Authenticity #ThinkDifferent #NonLinearThinking #EmbraceMistakes #AIandCreativity #PushingBoundaries

So, once you understand that vision clarifies purpose, life will become simpler and more meaningful :) I think that the greatest gift God ever gave man is not the gift of sight but the gift of vision. Sight is a function of the eyes, but vision is a function of the heart. A city is not gauged by its length and width, but by the broadness of its vision and the height of its dreams.

I was originally going to leave this as a comment, but it got away from me and now I feel like I need to make it a separate post, so my deep appreciation goes to Chaya Mallavaram for the inspiration and motivation to write today. Chaya's original post talks about her art and creativity and how creativity is not bound to just art and the narrow definition of what we generally consider to be creative endeavors. I find that to be intuitively true and it made me recall some of my own experiences. So, with that introduction, its story time. For as long as I can remember, I’ve been enamored with the arts—drawing, writing, sketching, painting. These were my go-to forms of expression in early years. Yet, despite my fondness for creativity, I often felt like my art fell short, Not because anyone told me so, but because my pieces rarely emerged from my mind’s eye as intended. It was as if my mental images decided to take a detour on the way to the paper. At the tender age of 13, I assembled my own PC from scratch. In the 90s, mind you, when the idea of "plug and play" was a distant dream. (Have you ever had to compile drivers from source?). Despite challenges and many janky hacks, I had a knack for troubleshooting and problem-solving—skills that, while seemingly unrelated to art, are actually quite connected. Trust me on this one. High school brought the opportunity to take electives in sculpting and programming. Sculpting was a revelation. It was like a dolphin discovering water for the first time—suddenly, everything made sense. I could finally translate those pesky mental images into something tangible. Sure, I still needed to hone my technical skills, but I had wonderful mentors that treated me more like a peer than a student and really encouraged me to challenge myself. Programming, on the other hand, was a delightful surprise. You see, math had always been a struggle for me in school. My counselor even advised against the class, given my "C" average in math. But lo and behold, programming was intuitive for me, and I did very well. Years later, I discovered that I had dyscalculia/dysgraphia—a form of dyslexia affecting numerical comprehension. However, what seemed like a deficiency was actually a hidden strength. Research suggests that about 85% of individuals with dyslexia and related disorders possess enhanced spatial reasoning, processing information in 3D and non-linear ways. Who knew? I think in 3D, which makes translating ideas and modeling math in a 2D format rather like trying to fit a square peg into a round hole. However, this spatial and non-linear reasoning helped me understand machines and computers better. I could visualize objects, functions, and scripts in programming in a way that made sense. By recognizing and embracing this ability, I turned what was once a perceived weakness into a strength that has become the bedrock of my career. If any of this resonates with you, please share your story—I would be delighted to hear it!
