Yesterday evening, I talked to my childhood friend about this website project. She works at an architect’s office for nearly 5 years now. Before, she completed her architectural studies and collected some work experience in different architectural projects at different workplaces.
Similar to me, she rediscovered painting during the COVID-19 pandemic. She pointed out an interesting subject which inspired me to write this post.
For any kind of artist, from time to time there are existing almost the same doubts about being taken seriously when presenting works of art. Would others value what I do? Would my art be understood? Is it good enough to be presented? Am I important at all??? We all know them good. Sadly, but I assume that those doubts are the worst obstacles when deciding if art is to be presented or not, if a website is to be established, a dream realised, and so on.
My grandma would say: Do whatever you do with all your heart and then it will be great (or in Finnish: Kun teet mitä teet koko sydämelläsi, varmasti onnistuu!). She is right! Instead of bothering ourselves (and othes) with right-to-exist questions, we should go ahead – let others see what we see and offer them an individual insight-out experience from our perspective! And remember: We can’t please everyone – but sure, there will be at least someone who likes what we do!
[To my dear childhood friend: Can’t wait for YOUR website!!! She paints awesome portraits of people from photos – would be a pity to miss them!!!]
