Some thoughts

To carve out a livelihood as an artist, one must first recognize the inherent business aspect of their craft. Central to this endeavor is the challenge of gaining visibility—an obstacle perhaps even more pronounced in the artistic sphere. Platforms like DeviantArt are teeming with a plethora of talent, making it easy to get lost in the crowd. While establishing a website is a step in the right direction, the crucial task remains: making your presence known. Equally important is addressing the fundamental question: what value does your art offer to potential clients?

This quandary has been a focal point of my contemplation, prompting me to reflect on the sage advice offered by a teacher: "Paint that which you wish existed but does not." This wisdom has since become my guiding principle. I create vibrant, colorful compositions that not only uplift my spirits but also resonate with others who find beauty in the same subjects. By infusing my work with elements of joy and optimism, I strive to offer viewers a moment of respite from the complexities of everyday life—a value proposition that distinguishes my artistic endeavors in a crowded marketplace.
