Most of time, when we are blocked in an area of our life, it is because we feel safer that way.

Julia Cameron -- The Artist's Way

WHAT IS INSPIRATION?

            Good question. I could give you a definition from a dictionary, but I’d rather give you my own. Why? Because I feel quite inspired right now. 

For me, inspiration is the breath of my spirit; when it inhales a mysterious energy that broadens my horizons and makes me feel reborn instantly. Quite spiritual I know… Let me try to make it more relatable. As an artist, a moment of inspiration for me is like an amazing dish that I savor every bite of, but cannot help but share so you enjoy it as well. That should do it… So when I create a piece, I want you to see what I see.  

But what gives me even more pleasure is that you see what I don’t see. When someone gives me their interpretation of one of my works, pointing out an angle that I had not thought of, it is for me the ultimate consecration. Why? Because it is proof that besides pulling that person into my universe, I’ve succeeded in expanding theirs. In short, I’ve inspired them. And seeing you inspired inspires me, and so we create a virtuous circle of inspiration. What a bliss!
