Artist Interviews
Artist Emma Wicks
My advice is that failure is almost always a good thing! As much as not succeeding at something doesn’t feel great, it’s always an amazing thing to learn from and improve upon what didn’t go well previously.
Artist Francois Chartier
Make sure you pick the right gallery to work with. Use the social media. Believe in yourself, listen to what people have to say about your work but keep in mind you are in charge. Never take a quick decision take the time to think it over but react quickly.The painting you do is your product they will represent you, so make sure that they are perfect.
Artist Luke Edgar
I invite viewers to join me in considering our own perceptions and experience of ourselves and the world around us. By creating a reality through my work that is a variation of our current lived reality, it creates a potential for the audience to open up to new ways of seeing and experiencing.
Artist Patricia Alonzo Diaz
-I recommend never stop chasing your dreams, constantly practicing that you always explore your creativity and stay open to learning and growing through constructive criticism.
Artist William Josephs Radford
Nourish your creativity with a balanced diet. Cut back on mindless consumption and indulge in hearty creation. If you find yourself beaming from ear to ear every time you're crafting something, then it's my signal to encourage you to unleash your full creative force. Whether it's a solo endeavor or part of an exciting project, take a break from endless scrolling and reach for that paintbrush, pencil, camera – Just let it flow!
Artist Rebecca Korth
There are many different paths you can take to have a successful art career. Find the one that works best for you. Life is too short to not love what you do!
Artist Ginny Page
Don’t hesitate-just do it! Believe in yourself and it will all work out in the end if you continue to put the work in, and only then. Don’t worry that you don’t have enough space or need fancy equipment or special teaching or inspiration. I hear that all the time through my earlier teaching! Feed your passion and make sure to do something creative every day even if it is just a small sketch or fiddling about with new ideas
Artist Scott Hocking
Keep working, learning, applying, growing, navigating around obstacles, adapting, changing, and on and on and on. I think if you’re a true artist, you’ll be doing it no matter what, and you probably don’t need any advice from me, ha. But yeah, focus on your work, bust your ass, and don’t let the bastards get you down :)
Artist Yejin Oh
My dream is very simple and always the same. I would like to have the ability to live my life just by painting.
Artist Jem Ham
Creativity isn’t something that can be taught. It is a state of mind. Tap into your subconscious mind and utilize the flow state. Our conscious mind can only process a limited amount of information (120 bits), but the subconscious can process billions of bits at once. Don’t be afraid to steal the fire from the gods and disrupt the norm.
Artist Flora Ranis
Call yourself an artist, proudly, regardless of how many works you have created, how many you have sold, and how much money you have made because to be an artist refers not to a profession but a perspective. To be an artist is to view the irrationality, hypocrisy, and beauty of the world without shying away.
Artist Yuqian Sun
Our definition of innovation is constantly being striked, bringing us the fear that If our creative process is not edgy enough, we are left behind by the art world as failed, out-of-date ones. This fear makes being honest with your inner world something that requires a lot of courage.
Artist Bella LaMontagne
It’s important to keep in mind that even in a sea of rejection, making art is what makes us who we are and if that is enough you are unstoppable! Keep applying, keep creating, and think about how you can organize your own artist opportunities through your communities as well.
Artist Ratna Sari
Discover your strengths and unique talents, and consistently work on enhancing your skills. Secondly, don't hesitate to decline opportunities that don't align with your goals. By doing so, you'll free up time to concentrate on your art and chosen projects.
Artist Chris Klein
Try to do something that will catch people’s eye, as well as be skilfully painted. It’s hard to be original, almost everything’s been done before………….. But NOT everything!
Artist Florian Prünster
Never give up, believe in yourself, and relentlessly pursue your ideas and goals. That's exactly what I did, putting in hard work and spending countless hours in my studio to experiment with materials, practice various techniques, and develop ideas. It's crucial to always critically assess your own work – What can I do better?
Artist Gwen Roberts
You’re the master in your own studio. You’re in charge, not the graphite, not the pastels, not the paint. You must tell ‘it’ what to do, not the other way around. You know you’re good at this so just create.
Artist Julia Wang
Approach every piece of painting with an open heart and be prepared to end up with something different to what was set out, think of every project as a learning opportunity.
Artist Emily Au
If making art is what you want to do long term, I think the most important thing is to continually and consistently keep creating work, even when you don’t feel like it. There are many times
Artist Lela Arruza
Become a part of the community. Life is all about relationships and connections. Surround yourself with other artists and mentors who can support you through your journey.
