Narratives in Art.
Welcome to "Narratives in Art," a space where I explore the stories behind my creative practice. As I navigate my journey through a master's in fine art at Central Saint Martins, this blog serves as both a reflective journal and a platform to share the evolving processes, inspirations, and challenges that shape my work. Join me in uncovering the layers of meaning and experimentation that define my art, and discover the narratives that unfold along the way.
Scaling up #1 & Threads Exhibition.
Scaling Up #1 is my first attempt at translating my detailed style into a larger composition. This experimental sketch taught me to embrace imperfections, overcome creative hurdles, and find unexpected freedom in the challenges of working on a new scale.
Imagination / Resentment.
In this blog post, I reflect on the relationship between resentment and imagination, a topic we explored in a recent group session. Resentment, while technically involving a form of imagination, can block our creative processes by leaving no room for growth or positive creation. Through a free writing exercise on what blocks my imagination, I uncovered insights that continue to shape my artistic practice.
First Group Critique.
Participating in my first group critique session was both nerve-wracking and exhilarating as I shared my large-scale experimental piece for the first time. The feedback I received, from technical tips like using a stipple brush to deeper inspirations such as exploring Sohrab Sepehri’s work and Chinese Freehand brush techniques, left me with an unexpected burst of motivation. This experience marked a pivotal moment, moving me from guarded creation to confident exploration, and showed me that sharing my art amplifies its meaning rather than diminishes it.
