What does my heart wants me to do today? by Mashatik in Vancouver
What does my heart wants me to do today?
Understanding how you feel in the faces of other voices without second guessing yourself is probably the single most important thing to practice as an artist –to know how you feel and own your feelings. The key to it is NOT "I know, so I know what's right for you. It doesn't work like this. "I KNOW for me. The reason I decided to be an artist is to demonstrate how I see it. If I am undermining my taste for some commercial idea, it defeats the whole purpose of doing this. This is not what this process is about. This process is: I am doing me and I am showing who I am and you can like it or not but either way this is how i see it". - Rick Rubin
My journey toward developing my creative practice started at a young age. During my childhood, I showed a keen interest in art and got enrolled in a school with a strong emphasis on traditional art teachings. However, my family immigrated to Canada when I was 16, which changed the trajectory of my artistic pursuits.
Despite the challenges of adapting to a new environment, I continued to nurture my passion for art. I enrolled in Emily Carr University, where I initially pursued Visual Arts, but later transitioned to Communication Design due to considerations of financial stability for my family. Despite this change, my longing to pursue fine art persisted, and I found myself constantly drawn to painting as my preferred medium.
Throughout the years, I have honed my skills in watercolour, acrylic, and ink, primarily through self-directed learning and observation of other artists. In my creative process, I put a lot of emphasis on my personal expression and relationship with the art I create. At the beginning of my art practice I was learning from observing different art techniques, styles and colour combinations then I went on a search for what ignites me as an artist. In my recent art practice, I explore themes of time, energy, music interpretation, self-expression and synesthesia.
