The Emotional Palette: How Colours Influence Feelings in My Art
For a long time, my work existed in black and white. Stripped of colour, it was all about contrast, form, and texture—letting light and shadow do the storytelling. There was a purity to it, a directness that I loved. But recently, I felt something shifting. A pull towards something richer, something more layered. So, I made a change.
I started working with colour.
At first, it felt like learning a new language—exciting but uncertain. Colour is an entirely different way of thinking, a different way of seeing. Where black and white allowed me to focus on stark, bold compositions, colour introduced a new dimension of emotion and energy. Suddenly, my work wasn’t just about what was being depicted, but how it felt, how it moved, how it resonated through shades and tones.
The Art of Repetition: Why Doing the Same Thing Over and Over Fuels Creativity
Repetition gets a bad reputation. It’s often associated with monotony, stagnation, and a lack of originality. But in art, repetition isn’t a trap—it’s a tool.
Repetition is how we refine skills, develop style, and discover deeper meaning in our work. It’s how artists evolve, musicians master their craft, and writers find their voice. Instead of resisting it, embracing repetition can be one of the most powerful things you do for your creativity.
How to Find Your Artistic Voice (When Everything Feels Done Before)
Ever sat down to create something and thought, What’s the point? Someone else has already done this—probably better, probably with more skill, more recognition, more originality. That little voice in your head whispers: Your work isn’t unique. Your ideas aren’t new. You’re just repeating what’s already out there.
Sound familiar? You’re not alone.
In a world flooded with content, finding your artistic voice can feel impossible. But here’s the truth: Your voice isn’t about being first. It’s about being you.
