myself. By meditating and praying before the day, I’ve begun listening
to my surrounding. This has helped channel my inner thoughts to look
upon art as a safe place to imagine. Therefore, my peace is found when
I’m able to touch a pen to paper.
Silence became a virtue in my life at a young age. Being quiet around
people was just something I did. In contrast, silence in art comes from
the inner peace inside. When I can find the peace, I can find the silence
inside my mind. Furthermore, this helps me create the images inside my
head that lay out the foundation of my artwork.
Images come to my mind when I begin finding the peace and silence
of my surroundings. When I find the images, I let it sit there for a
minute, ponder upon the experiences and begin writing it down on
paper. The paper begins feeling light. Letting my imagination wander
around as I channel my energy. I find it enlightening when I’m able to
find the end goal. Hence, nothing feels better than being able to tell the
image to the next fellow that comes in my day.
Therefore, art today has been something I’ve recently been able to
channel. Without the peace I have today, I’d be followed around by the
negative energy of my surroundings. Simply by taking the words from
others and defining them in my own words, I’m able to create the
images that come to my mind. Therefore, the imagination becomes
glistering to my mind.
