If a woman wants to be an artist
she needs to dive deep into her soul.
She needs to explore inner landscapes
Before she can even hold a brush.
If a woman wants to be an artist,
she needs to lay naked on warm beaches
and cry her pain,
into the waves of a dark ocean.
If a woman wants to be an artist,
She needs to live deeply and passionately
to know rejection,
as well as true love.
If a woman wants to be an artist,
she needs to get comfortable
with doing nothing, for days at end.
If a woman wants to be an artist,
she never turns her eyes away
from people who live with great sufferings.
She needs to walk in busy markets
and smell the sweat of working days.
She needs to dip her brush into
the juice of dreams,
and to re-create herself anew
"When I was nine years old, I painted a picture of Hedy Lamarr from a Maybelline ad.
It was no good and I threw it away.
I realized I could not paint."
- Andy Warhol
"When you start working, everybody is in your studio- the past, your friends, enemies, the art world, and above all, your own ideas- all are there.
But as you continue painting, they start leaving, one by one, and you are left completely alone.
Then if you're lucky, even you leave."
- Philip Guston - Painter
