Border between Spirit and Matter: the great sleep. Painting

Throughout my life, art has always been a constant source of joy and self-expression. From a young age, I was drawn to colors, shapes, and the ability to create something unique and beautiful. Whether it was doodling in my notebooks or spending hours on a single painting, my passion for art was undeniable. This early love for artistic expression has shaped my journey as an artist, leading me to explore different mediums and techniques. In this personal narrative, I will delve into my early artistic experiences, the influence of teachers and their suggestion of art school, the conflict with my parents' plans for my future, the continuation of pursuing art independently, and the significance of art in my life now and its impact on me. 1.Introduction to your early artistic experiences and passion for art As a child, I found solace in the world of art. I would spend hours with a box of crayons, creating vibrant drawings on any available surface. My parents encouraged my artistic endeavors, providing me with sketchbooks and art supplies. I would lose myself in the process, allowing my imagination to run wild and translate onto the paper. Art became my escape, a way for me to express my thoughts and emotions when words failed me. I would often find myself mesmerized by the works of famous artists, studying their techniques and attempting to recreate their masterpieces. This passion for art only grew as I got older, and I began to experiment with different mediums such as painting, sculpture, and photography. Each new artistic endeavor opened up a new world of possibilities, and I eagerly embraced the challenges they presented. Art became an integral part of my identity, shaping the way I saw the world and allowing me to communicate my innermost thoughts and feelings. 2.The influence of teachers and their suggestion of art school As I entered high school, my artistic abilities caught the attention of my art teachers. They recognized my talent and dedication, and it was through their guidance and encouragement that I truly began to believe in my potential as an artist. They saw something in me that I hadn't yet fully realized, and they were instrumental in shaping my artistic journey. It was during this time that they suggested I consider pursuing art school. This suggestion both excited and intimidated me.
