people think that making art is easy, which is sometimes true when you get rolling. i find it really hard when there is no inspiration brewing. i sit and stare at a blank canvas and that is all i do. art can't be forced or it becomes untrue, at least to myself. many times i ask myself why i do what i do, but there are no explanations. not everything i do has a purpose, and i believe that is the beauty of it. people try so hard to find the meaning of everything; why did this artist do this, why did they do that? but why make life more complicated than it really is? i mean, sometimes, yes, some artwork are done for certain reasons and convey certain specific meanings. some art though, at least for me, are done purely on instinct, which i believe many artists do. there are no underlying, hidden meanings to them, they are just what they are, art.
