Why do I paint

 ..Why do i paint

 We paint for ourselves  , for prosperity and growth  

We paint for  mental health

 We paint  for love and connection

 We paint  cause is therapeutic 

We paint  to escape  reality 

 We paint to embrace  ourselves, to embrace  the depths  of our being 

 By we i mean me myself and i 

My flesh ,thoughts  and soul

We paint because we can not stop painting  

We paint  because  we are creatives and we can NOT stop creating 

We paint because we are human . 

We paint through (thoughts) through  paints through words 

 We bleed on paper,we are poets 

We bleed on canvas we are painters 

We dwell deep , drowning in the blues and greens of the earth

The question  is What is Art 

Art is a form of expression  that uses skills or imagination  to create something  beautiful  and/or meaningful.  It can be a visual object or an experience  that communicates an idea , an emotion or a world view.

 One could argue that Art is a never-ending journey , a journey under the guidance of an invisible thread, tied to the core of our soul. We run ,we trip... walk slow , we bleed.. walk to the opposite direction/ run in a circular motion , that's when we get tangled by the thread

  then we say we are going through a phase ....we feel stuck . some  make Artistry out of the struggle , embracing their shadow-self.We then create thread walls ....life starts feeling like the maze , yet the  walls feel  like the mind of a surrealism... 

The journey of art is a metaphor for life itself. The invisible thread represents the creative force that drives us, connecting us to our innermost selves. As we navigate this journey, we experience moments of:

- Progress (running): bursts of inspiration and productivity

- Setbacks (tripping): self-doubt, criticism, and obstacles

- Reflection (walking slow): contemplation, introspection, and growth

- Sacrifice (bleeding): pouring our heart and soul into our craft

- Exploration (walking in opposite directions): experimenting with new ideas and perspectives

- Circularity (running in circles): revisiting familiar themes, refining our vision, and deepening our understanding

The thread tangling around us symbolizes the complexities and challenges that arise when we surrender to our creative calling. It's a reminder that art, like life, is a journey of twists and turns, requiring patience, resilience, and trust in the unknown.

"Going through a phase" acknowledges the fluid, ever-changing nature of creativity and life. Feeling stuck is a natural part of the process, a sign that we're ready to break through to new levels of understanding and expression.

"Making artistry out of the struggle" is a powerful phrase – it means transforming pain, doubts, and fears into something beautiful, meaningful, and relatable. Embracing our shadow-self allows us to tap into the depths of our psyche, revealing hidden truths and facets of our personality.

"Thread walls" is a striking image, suggesting the intricate, complex patterns we weave around ourselves as we navigate life's maze. These walls can feel suffocating, yet they also represent the surreal, ever-shifting landscapes of our minds. Surrealism becomes a fitting descriptor – our thoughts, emotions, and experiences blend and blur, creating a dreamlike reality that's both captivating and unsettling.
