1. How to Reinvent your Art?
And yourself as an Artist. 🤔
Here’s my take (and I’m actively doing this)
👁️ Create/ Recreate an Artistic vision for your work. Define what does it look like in 3-5 years and what would make you happy.
❌ Stop doing things the old way – the old way doesn’t work. Kill the old habits, routines and thinking. Start fresh.
🏃 Incorporate new habits/routines that changes the old ways of thinking – like new creative routines, projects and activities.
✍️ Learn something new and experiment with new mediums, projects and “styles” of making art.
🧠 Become a learner and welcome change. Fear stops growth and creates stagnation in your art. Invite change.
🏞️ Change your Environment and design it to match your new vision and its activities.
📕 Do a 10 Day Project, challenge to test new waters.
👣 Stay on the path and work really hard at this till something “speaks back to you” – Then ‘Passion’ is created.
2. Don't be "That" Artist
I often see many artists (including myself) who’s style and work never changes over the years. 😵💫
I personally feel that stagnation is caused due to lack of learning. (Also sometimes due to their focus on projects over art techniques/style)
There’s nothing right or wrong about this.
I just don’t want to be that guy though. 🤷♂️
An artist who is stuck in a “format”.
One of the things I’ve learned about art – it’s NOT a Format.
It’s an Evolution. 🧠
The way you evolve is simple – learn, learn and learn,
Become better.
(And that’s my personal take)
