Finding a style you can stick to until death is impossible because your taste changes through time, let alone you as human being. And even if you do end up feeling pretty confident and comfortable with producing a certain type of work, it probably won’t represent who you are as a person in the next few years, or even months. I know a lot of people say that you should try to make artwork that looks consistent in terms of style, because you’ll end up mastering that particular technique, and it will make your art instantly recognizable. But I think that makes you a slave of the style you created. It blocks your creative flow, and you’ll end up dismissing any idea that doesn’t fit with what you’ve previously created, tagging it as unworthy. Personally I think that art is about creative self expression above anything else, and if you’re not saying exactly what you think, painting exactly how you feel, than you’re wasting your time (I know I have) and might as well do something else that’s not art. If you’re anything like me, you probably have this crippling insecurity that won’t let you dive into experimentation, you probably hide inside your comfort zone making the same repetitive pieces. But something that gets me into the right mentality is the thought of suddenly being unable to paint, for example if something catastrophic ever happened. I don’t think I would really regret not doing work that looked exactly the same so that I could meet the expectations of the local art critic, or have the approval of the local community of artists in my hometown and get told by them that I have a “consistent body of work”. What I think I would regret is not creating whatever I wanted. With all of this that I wrote, I don’t mean that I don’t like the style of my previous paintings or that I will never do anything that looks slightly similar to that, but that if I ever do want to make something different I won’t stop myself anymore. #art #artist #artistsoninstagram #arte #artrant #artgram #instaart #abstract #abstractart #abstractillustration #illustration #illustrator #rant #markers #marcadores #canson #cansonpaper https://www.instagram.com/marshella.quintanilla.art/p/BwTCdNLAwLM/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=13faou3wbms7

Thoughts about time and clocks, minutes and seconds and everything that it entails... Created in Adobe Photoshop CS2 with the addtion of BeFunky filters. The original image was a fancy pocket watch which I broke and pulled apart to create what you see.
Confusion... 3 Stages of confusion + final stage- a) complete lost of any comprehension or reason, , b) anger and fear, c) realization as it seems which could be a deeper unfathomable level of confusion.. depending on your point of view and the reality you live in. Finally, d) acceptance of the situation and facts according to one's reason and understanding and being fairly comfortable with it. . Image created in Photoshop with the aid of BeFunky
Movement of Emotion... I was obliged to move and was buried under boxes and boxes and then more boxes. Unfortunately there was not time to create anything. I have several ROTE projects left in the middle, which I'll pick up soon. I felt like creating this yesterday and here it is. Image created in Photoshop with the aid of BeFunky
