How to be an artist

To be an artist, you have to participate.

Participate in life, and engage fully with the world.

An artist´s work is deeply rooted in observation, experience, and empathy.

These qualities can only be developed when one is actively involved in the life around them.

You decide how precisely you become involved. You don´t have to be a community leader or a public speaker. You can be a simple observer, gathering and digesting the various stimuli you encounter throughout your day.

At a later stage, these observations stored in your soul will materialize and manifest in your actions.

And, if you´re an artist, they will also manifest in your art.

The less you understand about what surrounds you, the less things you´ll have to pour into your own life, and your art.

So pay attention. Listen, learn, feel.

Digest it all, and express your feelings.

Be an artist.

Have a great day,

Claudio.
