Art is Life

I am an artist. I wasn't always an artist and I don't believe people are born with the ability to write or be creative. It really depends on the person and their environment. I sound like a psychology teacher but I'm not talking about the nature vs nurture argument here. People just develop their creativity over time. Those who have it can really appreciate the title of this blog.

Art is my life. Its the only form of expression without limits. If your canvas runs out you can get another one. If paper runs out there's plenty more. Its unlimited and so are the possibilities. Sometimes I look around and envision designs on everything. I call this visualization of mine Cstar's World, probably because I can't really describe it and I can't exactly tell a person here have a look. lol. It can be a cool experience if you try it. Just look around and put designs on the things you see. The best place to do this would probably be the city considering they have big buildings with plain colors.

The best thing about being an artist is having a passion for art. I personally love design, photography, and writing. I'll try anything at least once and I've learned a lot from my high school art teacher Ms. Besozzi. I miss the smell of her supplies. I know that sounds weird but art even has a scent, as crazy at that sounds.

The best thing about being an artist is knowing it's personal. I like knowing that everything I draw or write can be criticized but only to a certain extent. It's my work, you don't have to understand the concept. =) Art is really meant for one person, unless of course you meet someone who loves it just as much as you do. In my case, that person is Michelle Rosado. Although I've never seen her artwork her passion for it is noticeable. Its hard to explain but she gave me my devotion for art, something I truly am grateful for.
