The Art of Inspiration: Just ‘Steal Like an Artist’ Nothing is truly original. Everything builds upon what came before. The key isn't mindless copying, but understanding the underlying principles. Study the artist, not just the art. By dissecting successful work, we uncover patterns and insights that can be applied to our own creations. It's about finding inspiration, not imitation. Remember, great art is often a blend of influence and originality. Let's create something extraordinary together! Who are the artists or creators who inspire your work? Mine are Abhi and Niyu.

😶 3 mistakes that prevent me and perhaps prevent you from exploiting the full potential of your creativity: 1) Think that creativity comes by itself - because we easily find ourselves faced with blank page syndrome 2) Living in a CONSTANT creative mess 3) Ruminating at your desk locked between four walls, alone ❌️ That's why, art won't be likely to come to the rescue in time of need 🤓 That's why 1 year ago I followed the 12 weeks of Julia Cameron's "The Artist's Way" program which allows you to: 1) Understand that creativity is a pond full of fish. It's important not to overfishing it. 2) Creativity can be developed systematically. This is how I discovered the principle of the Artist's Date which allows you to cultivate your creativity every week A meeting with the artist which can also be integrated into challenges like #JeRamenTaFraise which allows us to think differently It can also be a motive picked up on the go, like a blooming flower, made into variations to fill a page. 3) A 10 minute walk will often bring more inspiration than hours of rumination. The brain is nourished by the movement of the body and by moving it also provides us with unexpected ideas... Going for a walk and talk with a friend or with your pet can add more benefits to your time outside. Like the idea for this post that came to me while walking in nature while waiting for my doctor. ✅️ Waiting for the results of my irm this morning, I treated myself to an Artist Date, painting flowers and writing about the day so far. You want to know more ? Don't hesitate to delve into the book "The Artist's Way" or/and come and discuss it in the comments. - The french version of this post was published last week for #JeRamenMaFraise created by RamenTaFraise and Nina Ramen 🍓 Ramen 🍓

🎨 The Story Behind the Paint: How My Life Experiences Shape Every Artwork 🌈 As artists, we often pour our hearts and souls into our creations, and for me, each stroke of the brush tells a story. My journey as an artist has been shaped by various life experiences—moments of joy, sorrow, growth, and reflection—that find their way onto the canvas. ✨ Every Color Has a Meaning: The vibrant hues in my palette are not just random choices; they represent emotions and memories. For instance, the deep blues reflect times of introspection, while bright yellows embody the joy of new beginnings. 🌱 Themes from Life: My art often explores themes of resilience and transformation, mirroring my personal evolution. Whether it’s the chaotic energy of a bustling city or the serene beauty of nature, each piece captures a facet of my journey. 🖌️ Techniques with Purpose: The techniques I use are also influenced by my experiences. I’ve embraced different styles, from abstract to realism, as a way to express my evolving identity and perspective. By sharing these stories through my artwork, I hope to connect with others on a deeper level. Each piece is an invitation to viewers to reflect on their own journeys, creating a shared emotional experience. I invite you to explore the stories behind my art and discover the connections that resonate with you. What stories do your creative endeavors tell? Let’s celebrate the narratives that shape us! #Imagineart_socials #Art #ArtistJourney #CreativeProcess #EmotionalArt #ColorTheory #LifeExperiences #ArtCommunity

Art is more than just a hobby; it's a journey of self-discovery and spiritual growth. Through the act of creation, we tap into our deepest emotions, connect with our inner selves, and find meaning in the world around us. Art can help us grow and learn about ourselves in many ways. • Art allows individuals to express their thoughts, feelings, and experiences tangibly. • Art can be a therapeutic tool for processing emotions, whether it's joy, sorrow, anger, or confusion. By expressing these feelings creatively, individuals can gain a sense of emotional release and healing. • Creating art can boost your self-esteem. Seeing your skills improve and your creations come to life can be rewarding. • Art can help you think creatively and solve problems. Artists must think carefully and try different things when they face difficulties. These skills can be useful in other parts of your life too.

𝐌𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐋𝐨𝐯𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 – 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐚𝐧 𝐀𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐭   💭Today I will share with you my non-logical thoughts & feelings around the word “Artist”.   🤷♀️I have always felt a disconnection from it, I felt calling myself an “Artist” did not sit right, I didn’t dare to call myself that. Even though I always have created art.   🤔This might have several reasons: the way I grow up, what I experienced, limiting beliefs that society has about “Artists” etc.   👩🔬I am eductaed as a Scientist, so I can use my logical & rational part of my brain, it still does not help with this conundrum, cos its not solvable with logic when it is abouot feelings & inner body senses.   👩🔬👩🎨Now, being a Scientific Illustratorr and making a living from Art helps with certain limiting believes for sure… & still when it comes to my abstract art side it’s a bit off again 😜   👩🎨I know I am not the only one with this confession, there are plenty of artistic people out there that have similar thoughts.   🖼️For me, I know I am working on it & resolving it by sharing my thoughts & feelings, & also my art. So this week you will see some of my abstract art pieces again & I am sure that with time, this dilemma will dissapear.   👉🏼 If you are a creative soul yourself, or if you are a Scientist who wants to explore the artistic world a bit, feel free to sign up for my “Mind-less-ness painting” hour this Friday at 6:00 CET: https://lnkd.in/dbfdn6VD   ⭐️Do you have such conundrums within you?⭐️   Love, Daria 💚   ------------------------ Follow for more science & art updates Ring the 🔔 for new post notifications from me Feel free to DM me if you need help with scientific illustrations🎨!   #dcsciart #artist #abstractart #mind #confession

Here are 5 points to get higher creativity, 1. Collect good ideas : The more good ideas you are exposed to, the more you can choose from to be inspired by. Collect things that resonate with you, such as films, music, books, paintings, photographs, poems, and even random conversations. 2. Use analog tools : Computers can be alienating because they don't allow you to actually touch what you're doing.Using your hands to make things can help spark your creativity. 3. Do things in the real world :Take a walk, garden, or go to a museum. The goal is to allow yourself time to be bored because boredom can spark creativity. 4 Embrace your anger : Use your anger as a creative resource to fuel your work. Instead of wasting anger on complaining. 5. Place constraints on yourself : specific time limit or using limited materials, you can force yourself to be more creative. #creativity #art #tips
