Are you suffering from art mania?

It is known that all creative people suffer from art mania. Given at different point of time the intensity of madness may vary. There can be two reasons behind higher intensity of madness provided by almighty. One to create a masterpiece. Second to do so, the artist has to realise that ART should be their main goal in life.
When do you know art is your life?
To know if you are suffering from art mania, please check the symptoms given below.The symptoms of an Art maniac:
1. Restlessness and anxiety when not creating something everyday
2. Gloominess and persistent feeling of sadness
3. When everything else is just unimportant and nothing gives you peace of mind and satisfaction as creativity/ a new creation gives. The only dream you carry is to be able to quench the creative fire burning in your tummy.
4. In major illness, the day seems incomplete and may lead to depression and sucidial thoughts.
To get well soon, following measures are necessary:Please spend atleast 1-2 hours minimum on some art project
TO recover faster:Spend as much time possible in creativity

Emptiness, Confusion and restlessness all in together.

What do you do when you are on a deadend? When you dont know in which direction to go forth? when you have to many projects on mind but do not know which one to follow? When you wish, you had some art mentor to guide you?
So you are confused and feeling restless as you cannot start any creative project.
How do you deal with such questions? What puts you out of such times?
Well phew! feels much better after drowning myself in one of the projects and finishing it too in a day. I guess just by picking up something and working on it is the answer to remove the restlessness.
Please do share.

What is art for you?

ARt iS EVerYWheRE - CaN bE SeEn EVerYWheRE



How do you define ART? To me ART is anything in perfect/good balance, harmony which in turn makes it beautiful. In Nature you would see - in form and arrangement of leaves, flowers, the way the sun rays are falling on the earth, arrangement of stars.When you see around everything is in balance.



The Creator of this world loves ARt too. This can be felt true if when you see around in its making - sky, water, trees, flowers, birds, animals and humans too. (hmmmnn...think for a second) Well we are all part of his creation, if Almighty likes color, harmony and balance then why would we not. Trust me, we all are born with innate abilities for harmony and balance. Tell me, do you like a screeching sound of vehicle horn or loud ugly noise of machines. If not then does this not prove that we dislike disharmony. Is this not bringing us to conclusion as to we all are lovers of art. By art here I mean anything in balance - correct amount of yellow and red would only create sunset orange, isn't it. striking red can be a eye sore if it was around the sun. I guess, nobody would have then stare at it for hours...hahha.



All the artists, are also inspired by creator's creation. Original is already first created by Almighty and we are just getting inspiration from it and presenting it in different form. For example the sun is depicted in different forms and drawings, renderings but in the end...original was out there already shining bright in the sky, everyday just there to inspire all. To get inspiration, and create something new - the first need is to be a keen observer/ see well and be aware of infinite beautiful creations.
