❤︎ Save it by favoriting it!
«Be the artist. No matter what. Be the artist so steadfastly as if you could change the world»
My work as an artist is an adventure in self-discovery. I paint as a way of talking to myself so as not to arouse suspicion.
What colours and textures does life paint on my canvas? What am I worrying about today? Am I experiencing discrimination? Or, am I maybe discriminating against someone?
If I don't personally feel inequality, does it mean that there is no inequality? What is feminism? Do I want to speak out about the role of women? How can I do this effectively? How do I express myself so that I can be heard?
I write prose. When I want to speak louder, I start to paint a new portrait that manifests my thoughts. Then I gather those paintings in the collection that make a statement about my ideas.
I argue and agree and argue with myself again and again. And with a new thought or question, I get to work again.
