To ask me who I am, I would answer-insignificant. That is all who I am to this world currently. That is all anybody ever is; insignificant. That is true, until you do something to make yourself significant. I am nobody different from me and you. I have skin, eyes, hands, a face and other human-like features. My appearance is the same as anybody around me. It is the things we do, that make us different from one another and significant. Until you decide upon what you want to do with your life and make yourself happy, you are pretty much insignificant and synonymous with the rest of this world. I call myself insignificant because I have not yet decided upon what I want to do with my life. Art comes to me naturally, but whenever I ponder the thoughts of becoming a true artist with my life, the idea of "starving artist" comes to mind because it just does not happen to most people, where they become fully successful with their lives in the "art business". My future is something I have to still take into consideration. For now, I am alright with being an adolescent in IB art.
Even though I am just in my teens, I find I have already grown as an artist. I used to just love Andy Warhol and Van Gogh, but now I adore more artists such as Schiele and Kamrooz Aram. I have also learn how to mash my abilities in art, artists and a culture, all into one piece. This has me indulging in a number of cultures as well, and not just learning about the ones that my own ancestors come from, but others where even my friends come from, or cultures that I was aware of, but knew nothing of importance about them. Delving into a number of cultures and artists has affected me in ways of inspiration. I have gain ideas and thoughts from seeing different art, and learning about cultures. My biggest influences are from Pop Art and Andy Warhol, and most Abstract Expressionism.
I see art as something I can do naturally, and I ideally would like to do something with it, because if I have the talent; why waste it? I do not want just make it harder for myself and end up doing something that I cannot do as easily or lovingly as art, and who does? When I think of people who have evolved as successful artists, I find it to be some odd facade. This is because I see influential artists are almost hypocritical, or trying to be some philosopher to show the world they are important, or mean something, and I find it to be that they where shaped and molded this way because the society of art has done this to them. If they are truly doing something they love, they are already making themselves significant, then they would not need to prove to the world that their art, or themselves, are important because if they love art and are happy with doing it, then it should speak for itself. Artists should not have to be a certain way to look "sophisticated" or of importance, because their art should already tell people this. However, I just could be thinking this way, because I am still an adolescent and I have not molded my brain fully to think or find artists amusing or some adjective of that sort. I am a person who is not the best at articulating my labyrinth of thoughts and ,communicating them to a script, so whatever I say or do may or may not make sense with the previous or following writing, and my writing; is like my thinking. This means, in a day, or in a year what I thought in the past could be completely changed because I cannot seem to understand how my brain or thoughts really work in a order to make sense. So my personality, inner thoughts and emotions, practically anything about me, changes as much as my hair color does. Lets just believe I can be significant one day,
