As an artist, I have always found inspiration in the world around me. From the colors on a chicken sandwich to the intricate patterns of a rosemary leaf. I have always been drawn to the beauty of nature and the human experience. But last year was a difficult one for me, both personally and creatively.
I struggled to find the motivation and inspiration to create, and my art suffered as a result. I felt like I had hit a creative block, and I didn't know how to break through it. I felt like I had lost my passion for art and that I would never be able to create anything of value again.
But as the new year began, I decided that I needed to make some changes and overcome my creative block. I knew that I couldn't let my struggles continue to hold me back and I needed to find a way to reignite my passion for art.
One of the first things I want to do is to surround myself with other artists and creatives. Maybe even join an art community online, and I begin to engage with other artists who were going through similar struggles. It would be incredibly helpful to hear their stories and to know that I'm not alone in my struggles.
I also want to make a conscious effort to be more consistent in my art-making. I set a goal to create something new every day, even if it was just a small sketch or a doodle. This will help me to build momentum and to get back into the habit of creating.
Maybe I'll even start exploring new mediums, techniques and styles. I have been working mostly with acrylic paint on canvas, but I'm going to start experimenting with more traditional mediums like paint, tea, coffee, wine, charcoal and ink. I believe it'll help me to break out of my comfort zone and to discover new ways of expressing myself through my art.
Finally, I made a point of taking time for self-care and self-reflection. I knew that my struggles with creating art were not just about my lack of inspiration or motivation, but also about my mental and emotional well-being. So, I made a point of taking time to relax, meditate, drink a little less, pray and reflect on my feelings and thoughts.
In conclusion, overcoming my creative block will not be easy, but it will be worth it. I will now be more consistent in my art-making and more confident in my ability to create something of value. I hope my story can be of help to anyone who is currently going through a similar struggle. Remember that you are not alone and that with time, patience and effort, you can break through your creative blocks and reignite your passion for art.
