Mixed Media Art Pieces: Passion & Pleasures

Every single mixed media art piece is a part of the good, bad and ugly that made up that artists’ life. It doesn’t matter what kind of art it is or where it’s from because it will always have some little details to offer with stories behind them.

If you take a close look at my art pieces, each has its unique story. And, through Art, I hope my passion can spread among other people in some way or another, even if it’s just for a moment in time.

Every single one of us started learning from someone, even if we don’t know who that someone is. I like to think it was our subconscious mind and intuition – the ability to see and create things differently than other people do. You can learn all you want, but in the end, it’s your own personal passion for art that will make the real difference.

Even though I guess sometimes things get lost in translation when you start getting involved in something new – especially when other people try to teach you how to do it… But please believe me when I say this: there’s nothing wrong with trying or failing; not every master was made overnight! And let me tell you, even if it takes years for you to perfect your own style, the feeling of doing something that makes you happy is definitely worth it.

Today’s artists are lucky enough to have all these new technologies at their disposal thanks to science and civilization. From cameras to computers and other gadgets, they’re all a part of the creative process today. Of course, I don’t think it will ever beat a real pencil or paintbrush in the end, but that doesn’t mean people aren’t taking advantage of what technology has to offer.

One sad thing about this is that some artists lose themselves along the way by becoming too dependent on these new tools – especially photographers – instead of using them as an addition to their own artistic visions. Others stay true to themselves and use technology just for experimentation which is definitely something I can appreciate. It’s endless fun!
