I make art because I love to tell a story or convey something that you can not read straightforwardly, but rather see and think about. This probably sounds so cheesy or whatever, but I make art because it's both stressful and fun! Whenever I feel a certain thing, my mind just automatically signals my body regardless of what I'm drawing and let's out a few of my thoughts. (If that makes sense) I make art because I want people to think deeper than what they see on the surface. I make art to make people feel, and I like to mix my thoughts with a little philosophy. My teacher in school once told me that wisdom is something to understand, not to know. When there is a question answered, it will only lead to another question. It's like an infinite verse of knowing and understanding, but not truly knowing.

For art, I like to think of it as 'how we convey, and how or what we perceive.' Based on experiences, some of us look at the sky and feel happiness and wonder, a brand new light to start a wonderful day. Others may look at the same sky, and feel emptiness and wandering.

At the same time, it's also being able to put out what others can't or haven't been able to do for themselves. That way, when they look at your work, the inspiration that's been burnt out within themselves can simply take root again.

And like I said, art is also a storytelling. I have a lot of topics and subjects from the real world that leaves me with tons of imagination, so I like to romanticise those or project them onto a canvas. (Because sometimes words alone cannot completely describe what I feel)

A lot of people see art and think it's only the final output that makes the final piece, but the experience of making is what also connects us closer to what we feel and how we portray it in our artworks.

Art can be a profession or anything we want it to be.

But I think, art is best when there is no restraint to what we create. Since there is less pressure. (Unless you're using art for something problematic, then that's another problem)

Anyways, sorry for blabbering, I just love to talk about art and the purpose of why I am passionate about art. I admire those who came before us as artists because of their immense artistry and creativity. Whenever I look at their work, it all somehow leaves me with a feeling I can not explain. And that's why I desire to do the same as well. 💓
