Through my art, I want and plan to strive to communicate not only my interests to my viewers, but also an understanding of my personality and some emotions that I feel. I want my pieces to demonstrate the important aspects of not only who I am, but the things I love and feel. I want to be viewed as an abstract artist who creates individualistic pieces. I want others to see my artwork and think “Wow, I would have never thought of doing that”, and later remember the piece I did. If I can just make one person look at my piece and be surprised by me or see my work as unique or unlike any others they’ve seen before, I would feel accomplished.
The most interesting and fun projects I take part in are ones that are using ideas that I can relate to, or materials I haven’t worked with before. My favorite art projects I have created are ones I have made with unusual materials, or new concepts. There are many artists I see on Pinterest who don’t just paint or use pencils, but will find everyday objects and use them to create a bigger picture, which always seem to inspire me for some unknown reason to try new things. When ideas are brought to me involving things I care about and find interesting, it inspires me to create art that relates to them because I find a passion and drive within myself to communicate and express how I feel and view things.
I find that though it is not necessary for me to necessarily communicate a viewpoint or expression through all my pieces, I still enjoy the creation and artistic process the most on the pieces I strive to demonstrate something through. They may not end up being my best projects, but I don’t mind trying to portray deeper meanings in my artwork because I find myself getting more into the piece as I work and get farther along in finishing them.
The best artwork I have seen all have one thing in common, originality. The pieces that I find myself digging in to and admiring aren’t always the most famous, but the ones that don’t blend in with all the other artworks, but stand out against the others when mixed in at a gallery. Artists being able to communicate a message, or just simply frazzle me with confusion, are the ones I remember later. Good art to me doesn’t have to be made a certain way or by a certain artist or made to match other pieces from the same period, it just has to capture myself into wondering and wanting to know more about why the artist did x, y, or z thing. I have realized that if you aren’t curious of anything about a piece, it seems to be because you simply aren’t intrigued enough to want to know more.
