I was being an artist, being sensitive and technical as artists are. I'm sure Leonardo Da Vinci did that. Artists don't always feel the same as others feel about their work.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
All sensitive people agree that there is a peculiar emotion provoked by works of art.
Any 'artist' makes a living by expressing what others can't - because they're unaware of their feelings, they're too afraid to express those feelings, or they lack the skills to communicate and be understood.
I just feel like we as a human race tend to fear that which we don't understand. It's cause for a lot of bad things and bad behavior to exist on the planet. Artists have a way of touching people and changing minds in a way that sometimes other mediums don't.
All my artist buddies make fun of me for being such a sensitive human being.
As a person, I believe that I am sensitive, which helped me be the artist I am.
Criticism really used to hurt me. Most of these critics are usually frustrated artists, and they criticise other people's art because they can't do it themselves. It's a really disgusting job. They must feel horrible inside.
To me, what makes an artist is a unique personality that they're not afraid to let show.
Most people respond to my paintings quite generously, but there have been cases where I think people - a few critics in particular - were actually moved by the work but were disturbed by the feelings it evoked, so they attacked it. Some people find the realm of my work quite uncomfortable.
What people don't understand is that how you are as an artist depends on how you are emotionally.
So much of what we do as artists is a combination of personal experience and imagination, and how that all creeps into your work is not so linear.
