Perseverance in art is the unwavering commitment to one's creative journey despite obstacles and self-doubt. It is the resilience to face artistic challenges, learn from failures, and emerge stronger with newfound insights. The path of an artist is often marked by uncertainties, yet it is through perseverance that the true essence of creativity unfolds.
I always strived to make this commitment of making art inspite of tiredness from the fifty plus hour work week, respondibilities towards family, raising children, maintaining societal obligations.
Each stroke, each piece, becomes a testament to the tenacity that fuels the artistic spirit.
Facing critique, risking judgement whenever art was shared on social media, sometimes hearing only crickets was not an easy task. Worst disappointment was when my website was messed up by developers that I payed to make it better! I had to start from scratch, all over again! But this did not stop me.
It's about acknowledging that setbacks are part of the process, and with determination, one can transform adversity into stepping stones toward artistic growth. Perseverance is not just about creating art; it's a profound affirmation of the artist's enduring passion and belief in the transformative power of their craft.
ABSTRACT FEELINGS
Perseverance in art serves as a powerful metaphor for navigating life's challenges. The tenacity developed through overcoming creative obstacles translates into resilience for facing personal struggles. The patience cultivated while refining artistic skills becomes a valuable asset when confronting life's complexities. Moreover, the self-discovery and confidence gained in my art-making process h ass contributed to a mindset that embraces perseverance in all aspects of my life.
For me art has become a therapeutic outlet, offering a refuge during tough times and a reminder that, just like a masterpiece in progress, life unfolds with patience, dedication, and a commitment to enduring through difficulties.
I hope it's the same for you, be it art or any other creative process of yours. Never give up and keep at it and you can and will build a muscle of resilience.
