How do you keep motivated?
Letting myself not think about art,
my best work comes from ideas that
have nothing to do with art. To keep
a positive outlook as well, as many of
us can probably agree it is difficult to
create anything when feeling low or
depressed, while this is much easier
said than done, to try and be proud
of the work I create keeps me very
motivated.
How do you know when a painting,
or piece of work, is finished?
There is a feeling when a piece of
work is done, it’s that nothing else
more could be added that would
enhance the feeling or composition of
a piece, this can happen within a few
moments with a work or much longer.
Sometimes it’s out of frustration,
sometimes vice versa.
Why do you make art?
I often think about the future, being
40 or 50 years old, having stopped
making art. The thought makes me
sad, I believe that if I were to do
something else with my life I would
not find the same satisfaction or
desire that comes with creating art.
