I am known for my photo art where I have achieved more than I dared hope for, but I found myself competing with Ai (artificial intelligence) and I didn't like it.
I love, yes I need to create art, so I changed course and have chosen to paint. After making that change, I wish I had started painting more enthusiastically way earlier. But truth be told, I was scared, and didn't feel at all capable. While practicing and practicing though, I realized that if I painted like I would create in Photoshop, it would work for me. That is, working in layers. Painting one layer at the time, and never be afraid of putting that first layer down. The only difference is that if I make one of those layers wrong, it's a lot more difficult changing it. This has taught me to be more thorough in planning the work process, and to analyze every step before letting the paint brush settle on the canvas.
I have been told, and I know it's true, that I have created especially feminine art, always featuring a female subject in my art work. This I have thought about a lot. Yes, I accept that that is what I am drawn to making, but I have challenged myself to make really cool masculine art. I love the look of a man in a suit and hat, so that is often my main theme, whereas my feminine art pieces will be especially pretty and extra feminine.
Also, I will incorporate extreme features in my paintings, such as extra large hairstyle or an imaginary setting. I like realism mixed with the unreal. I aim to impress with both skill and imagination.
For me, the best feeling is to have my imagination come to life and finishing an art piece.
Thank you for reading :)
