Art is about moving skilfully from dream to reality, and turning reality into a dream.
Learning to paint is like learning to fly.
Once you’ve learned the technique, the flight and pleasure begin.
To do this, you have to forget the technique, or let the technique be forgotten, so that you can enjoy the journey and gain altitude.
You learn to express yourself through artistic creation just as you learn to dance, You have to be able to forget the steps in the rhythm to be able to express yourself according to your own expression, your own freedom.
Forget the gaze of others and let the beauty within us express itself.
Learning to paint is like learning music.
Solfeggio can sometimes seem daunting, but once you’ve mastered it, you can forget about it and enjoy the subtle pleasure of being able to play, and once you’ve forgotten about technique, you can play your own melody.
It’s perhaps only a short step from there to thinking that we need to forget in order to be in the present, to dare, to be ourselves, to express ourselves and let the pleasure of creation carry us along…
