I'm a Creator
Create or die, the saying goes
My interpertation has always been that it doesn’t mean that everyone should, or even want to, create something, but for some of us, we need to create in order to stay alive, or somewhat sane at least.
I never really considered myself as any sort of artist, but I have always had the need to do something with my hands. I can’t paint or draw to save my life, but I’ve done handcrafts and in the resent years I’ve chosen photography as my favourite medium.
Play pretend
Often in my photography, I’m the subject too and that gives me another form of creating something. I build characters using myself and my feelings as a base, exaggerating and magnifying them. Acting out stories in the course of few photographs. I try to stay away from taking just a bland ”pretty picture”, and create something worth viewing, something that raises questions, conversation and ideas. Being a muse for someone is my life goal.
Write it out
I kind of hate writing, yet I want to do it more.
Finnish being my mother tongue, I always hated writing essays, it was hard and it all felt fake, kind of like soap opera. When I started using English, and picked it up very quickly in school, writing started to feel more natural to me. Maybe I can give more of myself in a language that is not quite my own, more distant.
When I have a new idea for a post, I think it out in English. I make drafts in my head in English and only every now and then, I have proverbs in Finnish that I need to figure out how to translate. I’m trying to push myself to write more, and write better. Not every story or opinion can be told with self portraits, so I need to add some words too.
Took me a moment to figure out the picture. Just like in the old days, when the polaroid slowly took shape.
I always have to laugh, when I see a real artist questioning if they are artists, while a pile of crap is produced by a bunch of bozos who have no doubt at all, about calling themselves artists 😜
You one of the most creative and talented artists around here. No matter what language you use... be it words or pictures!
Hope you are back to feeling better 😀
Don’t laught at me! 😤😁 I think that we have to question ourselves and our work, in order to improve. And improvement in all areas of my life is what I am after.
I guess you didn’t see my next post yet, I mentioned you😝
I'd never laugh at you, its the absurd fact, that makes me laugh. And all the dilettantes...
It was late last night... hm... making me curious. Can only take a very quick look. Rocket is waiting. See you tonight 😘
I know I know... Have fun with the Rocket, let's talk later!
I really have enjoyed watching how your creations have evolved over the last little while that I've had you in my newsfeed. It seems the jump into the unknown of being a full time creator has brought you adventures that you didn;t know you needed to have.
Lovely, authentic article as always, although I'll admit I enjoy the mystery of pondering what process drove you to make the images that you have brought to my eyes.
Gracias :)
Have another picture - (I sense you'll get a lot of these in the time to come)
Ahh, I do hope to vail myself in some sort of mystery, even when I bare it all, one way or another. But thanks for staying in so far :)
It seems that many of my followers are artistically very colourful, quite the contrast for my doings :P
Creativity is our natural state of being. I create in many ways visual with marks ie drawing and painting. I have spells where I must create nothing else matters.
"My interpertation has always been that it doesn’t mean that everyone should, or even want to, create something..."
Actually, very few people are actually creative enough to make a dent. And thank GOD that's the case, you feel me?
It depends, on where one wants to make a dent. I prefer making a dent in other people's wallets.
Ps. What's with the profile pic, where is the beard!?
The beard is an illusion. It's the manifestation of my anima, the abstract, omnipresent reminder of adulthood.
Basically, my profile pic was shit. You see I don't have a photographer to assist me :(
good job
I like to believe that I create a positive energy. A short moment of distraction. Opportunity for the viewer to forget his daily concerns and to simply enjoy various colors and ornaments. Until recently that was enough for me. Now I aim to combine that positive energy with my first artistic love( writing). So from now on I intend to create stories, characters and to show them in my visual art. I hope that this type of dual representation will provide a deeper connection between my viewers and my creations.
Recently I also started doing selfies but I am still absolutely green in photography. Your photography always has a sense of artistic magic in them. and it doesn't even matter if it is a photo of nature or you.That magic vibe is there in either case. I would love to achieve something similar. But for now I am not able to tell stories with my photography. Well I guess I will have to practice a lot more.
I am a photographer and i've a professional experience in the editing and post-production of photos.
I like to think of myself as a creator of emotions (through my photos).
Just love sharing my photography in day to day life on here :) the added love is a bonus!
You are a creative content creator,i love your craft @eveuncovered
Creating content is a passion that I keep learning and I want to keep growing in it!
Especially in my yoga practice,photography and self image
I admire people who have the patience to do yoga, it bores me to death but it would do me good to be little more flexible :D
You are funny... 😁
I do create art but have slacked off on that and am building my creativity back up I have posted a few bits.
But mainly I create vibes of change ! 💯🐒
