Artists today think of everything they do as a work of art. It is important to forget about what you are doing - then a work of art may happen.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I don't think about art when I'm working. I try to think about life.
Artists rarely do the same thing over and over again. Art is about the new, doing things in a new way.
To be an artist is not a matter of making paintings or objects at all. What we are really dealing with is our state of consciousness and the shape of our perceptions.
It's really easy to project this whole ideology of what being an artiste is, and I'm just not down with intellectualizing it. I just think, if you feel like doing something, then do it.
Part of your job as an artist is to push yourself and make sure your creative juices are flowing.
The main thing in making art often is letting go of your expectation and your idea.
What an artist is trying to do for people is bring them closer to something, because of course art is about sharing. You wouldn't be an artist unless you wanted to share an experience, a thought.
I think the most important thing for an artist is to not worry about what anybody else thinks. You just have to do what comes from your heart and your being and put it out there-that's true in any of the arts.
Being an artist is dragging your innermost feelings out, giving a piece of yourself, no matter in which art form, in which medium.
The more you think, the more you ruin things. Art has to come viscerally; otherwise, forget it.
