Inspiration is a big issue for me, I am an artist since I was a kid, but lately inspiration is more evident and takes a hold of me, more than it did before. Through the past few days I received a huge amount of inspiration (you know what I am talking about), and something inside me turned on, and now I don’t want it to shut down.
The need to create is almost like breathing, or eating, you can’t stop, you have to have it or you die. When I say die I mean inside, as an individual, as an artist. Sometimes inspiration runs dry and grows thin inside you, and that is how you know you need it. The desperate need for creation will show you that without inspiration you are nothing, and at that point you know, you are an artist. Whatever art you use to express yourself is irrelevant, because the only instinct and need you have is to express your soul through any creation of art, in writing, in figures, in gestures. The arousing of emotions lead to action, and the action leads to art, and when you think as an artist you become more aware, you open your eyes to the beauties of this world, to the inspiration, and then your journey has come full circle.
The rational brain understands art in such way that most of us don’t even know where to begin. The ones who deny the power of the arts and grow away from it, live life as a blind deaf soul wandering around their path, walking in circles, the inspiration goes by them, tries to touch but goes away rejected. Not every person has the gift of accepting inspiration when it goes by them. You have to be aware and to see through the mist to be able to touch inspiration and let it touch you. If you get lost, you go back and walk that part of your path again, until you find it, and when you do, your eyes are open, and peeled to everything inspiration brings you, and the result of that will be a masterpiece.
