When and how did you begin to see yourself as an artist?
In 1990 sold my first painting
Art has always been encouraged in my family, so I have always seen myself as an artist.
during the lectures at college on the 'what is art' essay i had to write!
maybe just before that, when I started doing sketches that really looked like the people that they were of...
as for the music.. well, when I made my first track in 2004. I made it in a week and it came out of nowhere!
art is like when I learning how to eat cookies. It was kind thing I enjoyed when I was young.
I think I always did as a small child and young person. So from 0 - 21
And then, weirdly, I doubted this at art school !?! So didnt call myself an artist (well with any conviction or sincerity) from 21-28
I started to see myself as an artist again in 2005. I made a commitment to being an artist.
I been painting since I was a child. Painting to me is a love and need not just my work. I started to see myself as an artist after my first exhibit in 1994.
My art is my personal creative visual expression, with a concern creeping in.
I don't remember any signs, during my childhood, which could have definitely predicted my becoming a painter-sculptor. I was the youngest child in the family. I was a lonely child who had adjusted to aloofness, enjoying it and hating it alternately. Living in a house which was amidst a jungle (forest), about two kilometer from the road from where, I thought, the 'World' started. From the house, a pagdandi (pathway) led me through the jungle to the World and from the World to my house.
My first relationship, in my life, outside my house, began with this jungle. I took the jungle in me through the window and from the terrace of my house. It tempted me and whenever I came out of my house, it engulfed me, as if to take the responsibility to prepare me to face the world. The jungle was never consistent in its behavior towards me—it changed its moods during the day and the behavior when seasons changed. The jungle, sometimes let me feel its love, care and indulgence. It provided me the cover of cool shade when I walked through it, returning from school in the hot summer afternoon— allowed me to explore it, let me climb the trees, pick flowers, listen to the conversations and the music of the birds. Sometimes the jungle taunted me, even scared me, — let a snake pass in front of me. It lengthened the shadows of the trees, allowed the howling wind pass through it, when I had to cross it at night to reach my home— But always in the end, asked the full moon to peep through the branches of the trees, slowed down the wind,— made a flower drop on my way— and guide me home on the 'pagdandi' (pathway). Somewhere, sometime during this relationship with the jungle, I think, the desire to express was born in me. I had no medium at my command to express and the urge got buried somewhere.
Amidst my relationship with the jungle, the world began to change very quickly. The country was partitioned. We fled leaving the jungle behind. I saw a group of people killing one helpless person. I met people who had a compulsion for lying and who planned to harm their dear ones, friends and children, but were accepted as innocents. Urge to express came back and I took a conscious decision to express myself through the medium of painting and later in sculpture.
The journey of my expression through art has been similar to the journey of contemporary Indian art after Independence— of derivation, of introspection and of discovering ones own creative visual   | | |
I started about 7 years ago, i get to try 3dsmax R3 and fell in love with it. I then studied 3d animation and special effects, among other things such as drawing, sulpting.
When i played my first 3D game in junior high school and see the jurrasic park movie in the theater. I always asked "how do they create the it? it's so amusing!!" to my mom and dad. Since then i search anything related to it and then found myself fascinated to it.
Then i realized, "I want to become part of this industry!!" as an artist.
Its been 15 years i am in this straw art field and My first art is Portrait of Bob Marley it took 5 and half months to complete.After completing i put in front of me really it seem artistic,........................
I think I saw myself as an artist from the time I was a child.
Ever since I can remember I have always drawn or painted or did something creative. I guess when in high school and you start thinking about what you wanted to do with your life I always just thought ART
It was about 3 years ago when people were asking to purchase my items, ordering custom order items and i was beginning to be recognized as a known polymer clay artist in magazines and online.
Hmmm... So, you think I am an artist? OK!
Early as a child at the age of seven years.I remeber saying to everybody that my desire is to become an artist.
Being born in the south of Europe where all boys played and wanted footballers future, I spent my time drawing. |
