Don’t Box Me…
No, No One Style…
As an artist, I do not wish to box myself or be known for a particular style/theme/medium. I try and experiment towards whatever I am drawn towards in that moment in time. Above is a snapshot from my Instagram art feed (@artAbhay).
I believe you can limit and restrict your artistic journey and growth by trying to stick to one style/theme/medium, especially early on…
let it flow instead…give your personal & artistic evolution a chance…
If you have limits because of lack of training or skills then that is a separate matter(the reason for a lot of post-modern art)…though I would encourage you to push yourself and test and overcome those limits instead of giving up too soon…
Let it flow instead…give your personal & artistic evolution a chance…
Don’t restrict and curb your creative instincts and expressions for validation/commercial/business reasons, towards pleasing (or catering to the limited bandwidth of) those self-proclaimed art aficionados and experts(aka gallery owners/collectors/curators/“teachers” etal) who may not know any better/much…
let it flow instead…give your personal & artistic evolution a chance…
Trying to force fit a ‘process’ box around creativity, design or innovation? There is an inherent contradiction there. Creativity is fluid and free — it cannot be contained, let alone within a box. Structure and process can kill creativity, and suffocate the creative soul.
There is no one process. There are however some guiding principles, sub-processes, and lessons that can help one create — aka Creativity Secrets.
The book “Creativity Secrets” deep-dives into various creativity principles and helps you overcome growth-inhibiting widely held beliefs of trying to box oneself in an artistic style or a typical/”acceptable” career profile/progression.
