Sometimes ... it just takes a little longer

There are days where art becomes like a bad day at the office, nothing seems to work right, the colors don't work together, the ground on the canvas is fighting back, it doesn't feel right what I am doing ... and the harder I try, the more it is getting frustrating. I guess it just is part of the process, being an artist can't be eternal bliss, I get it. If only I could accept that fact, embrace it and continue on until I hit the big wave again ... but easier said than done. Maybe it is the ego, maybe it is the little voice in my head telling me that unless I produce something that might sell, I have no right to be wasting a whole day or even a whole week (which yes, has happened before) in the studio.
But as always, there is the moment, where all of a sudden while seemingly in the middle of the fight, the light at the end of the tunnel starts shining through and once I am over that hump, things just fall into place, the colors work together and my color choices that seemed off yesterday actually do work, shapes are starting to form an image and my happiness returns and my wave is back again ... until next time. Hopefully I will remember to just keep going and to accept that it is just part of the process.

No matter how bad your day was, you should never give up on art! If you know that arts make you happy and you were born to be an artist then you must embrace the warmth and the coldness it brings. There are days wherein you will not be able to understand everything that is happening in you, but you need to keep on moving forward. I know how stressful may it be on your part, but I am sure that you will be able to overcome it and realize that it's your passion that keep you going.

    Growing up between two rapidly changing and very different worlds, West-Africa and Germany, my art was necessary to enable me to create my own world from an early age on, a world that I had control over when there was no control over the external world.
