The Nature of Creativity
-
🌍We are all living as artists, actively participating in the ongoing process of creation, whether we are formally making art or not.
-
🎨Art is a circulation of energetic ideas, combining differently each time they come back, resonating on a deeper level.
-
🔍When we cultivate our awareness, we are expanding the universe, expanding the scope not just of the material at our disposal to create from but of the life we get to live.
-
🧠The act of creation is an attempt to enter a mysterious realm, a longing to transcend what we create allows us to share glimpses of an inner landscape.
-
🎨Living life as an artist is a practice of constant openness to receiving and being fascinated and surprised.
-
🎨The unseen energy and intention behind the creative process gives each piece its magnetism and true meaning.
-
🎨The task of the artist is simply to recognize the transmission and stay with it in gratitude until it truly runs its course.
-
🎨Establishing consistent habits and a structured framework around your creative process can actually lead to more freedom and creativity.
-
🌱In the first phase of the creative process, we are to be completely open, collecting anything we find of interest, without comparing them to find the best seed, simply gathering them.🎨An artist's goal is not merely to produce, but to make the finest work they are capable of.

🌊In the Abundant mindset, the river of material flows through us, and when we share our works and ideas, they are replenished.
Innovation and Tradition

-
🌱Innovation through ignorance: The Ramones unwittingly invented punk rock, challenging assumptions and starting a countercultural revolution.
-
🎨Limiting the information and giving freedom to creators can lead to the most authentic and fulfilling creative expression.
The Purpose of Art
-
🎨The goal of art isn't to attain Perfection. The goal is to share who we are and how we see the world.
-
🔄Great art opens a conversation rather than closing it, and often this conversation is started by accident, allowing for freedom of individual interpretation.
-
🌟Instead of focusing on what making this will bring, focus on what you contribute to this art to make it the best it could possibly be with no limitations.
Embracing Imperfections
-
🎨The imperfections in our work are what makes each of us and our work interesting, as the making of art is not a competitive act.
-
🧠Embrace imperfections as a guiding force in creativity, they only become a hindrance when they prevent our ability to share what's closest to our heart.
-
💡Creativity is not limited to music, it's a way of looking at the world and doing whatever it takes to be the best.
-
💫Success in art is not always about talent, but also about timing and luck.
-
💡True collaboration is about working together towards the best idea for the whole, not just pushing your own idea.
-
🌎Imperfections and quirkiness make art great because it showcases an individual's unique perspective on the world.
-
✨You have to do what's personal to you, push the boundaries, and people will resonate with it if they're supposed to resonate with it.

-
😂The best comedians have the best antenna for jokes because they see the world differently and don't believe what the structure around them assumes to be the case.
-
🧐Pay attention to the signs: "If more than one person recommends something to me that sounds bad, I always check it out because it's like the universe wants me to know about this."
-
🎨The question for artists is not whether they are the next da Vinci, but whether they are improving every day and striving to be the best they can be.
-
💡We have the power to make different choices in our lives and change things that aren't bringing us joy or happiness.
-
🎨The audience comes last in the creative process because making something for someone else undermines it.
-
🎨Sometimes, breaking the rules is necessary to create something special in art.
-
💡Trying a completely different way can lead to creative growth and prevent limiting beliefs.
-
💡Creative spirit is eternal and forever, and engaging in different creative practices can improve them all.
