Embracing the Boundless: Why I Chose Abstract Painting and Art as My Job
In a world filled with diverse career paths, some individuals find solace and fulfillment in the realm of art.
For me, the decision to pursue abstract painting as a profession was driven by a deep passion for self-expression, a desire to challenge conventional norms, and a profound connection to the transformative power of art. This is my personal journey and my reasons behind the choice to embrace abstract painting and art.
1. The Freedom of Expression: Abstract painting offers a unique platform for unrestricted self-expression. Through the interplay of colors, shapes, and textures, I found a medium that allowed me to communicate my thoughts, emotions, and experiences in a way that words often fail to capture. The freedom to create without the constraints of literal representation enables me to delve into the depths of my imagination and convey complex ideas and feelings that resonate with others on a profound level.
2. Challenging Conventional Norms: Abstract art challenges the status quo, pushing boundaries and inviting viewers to question preconceived notions of what art should be. As an abstract painter, I am constantly exploring new techniques, experimenting with unconventional materials, and defying traditional artistic conventions. This constant pursuit of innovation and the willingness to challenge established norms not only fuels my creativity but also allows me to contribute to the evolution of the art world.
3. Connecting with Others: Art has the remarkable ability to transcend language and cultural barriers, forging connections between individuals from diverse backgrounds. Through my abstract paintings, I aim to create a shared experience, inviting viewers to interpret and engage with the artwork in their own unique way. The profound connections and conversations that arise from these interactions are incredibly rewarding and reinforce my belief in the power of art to foster empathy, understanding, and unity.
4. Personal Growth and Fulfillment: Choosing abstract painting as my profession has provided me with a constant source of personal growth and fulfillment. The process of creating art allows me to explore my own emotions, thoughts, and experiences, leading to a deeper understanding of myself and the world around me. The challenges and triumphs that come with pursuing a career in art have taught me resilience, perseverance, and the importance of embracing vulnerability.
In a world that often prioritizes practicality and conformity, 9-5 jobs, choosing abstract painting and art as a profession is a bold and courageous decision. For me, it is a path that allows for boundless self-expression, the opportunity to challenge norms, and the ability to connect with others on a profound level. Through abstract painting, I have found a sense of purpose, personal growth, and fulfillment that continues to inspire and drive me forward on this artistic journey.
However, sometimes, I like to work with nature. Nature inspires me but this is the subject of another post.
