The Artist Life

The Artist Life
70x50cm ink, aquarelle on 300gr paper
 
Look at this! I named this drawing the artists life. In the centre is a temple with someone sticking its head out the door. That is you.

And outside are a lot of distractions and obstactles to overcome. You need to avoid all the monsters in the street to get to the supermarket.

So all these details in the background: you think: 'its random'.... NO!

It's all meaning. All these characters are stories. There is a little house which is on fire, when my house was on fire in Rotterdam and had to spent the night outside. And there is a factory, thats school, a person comes out and becomes a butterfly. a long hair guy because it took a long time to draw this. A dragon destroying papers, because a lot of drawings were not good. You are your own inner critic. A lot of people falling because I was in my head with anxiety, I thought I was not good enough (2017). Now it changed. I really don't care about a lot of things. You can literally do what you want and you are already good. You don't need to do anything.
