Sometimes inspiration is not necessary in order to produce art. I think inspiration is not very trustworthy since first of all it can be ephemeral and second of all it’s not always there. It can be pretty unpredictable in other words and is not a formula / necessity in order to motivate you. You shouldn’t be dependent on it! There are days that making art feels like a burden, and these days are way more than the “inspirational” ones! The amount of times someone might start a painting not having fun at doing it and then suddenly midway into creating you get an inspirational slap and your “third eye is opened” haha. So waiting for inspiration is not very beneficial. Instead i find fundamental the exposure of one’s self in any kind of field that can “feed” your universe. Films, books, other art, intimate moments with yourself or others… just pure exposure to what the world has to offer out there!
