How do you deal or overcome a creative block?

Most creative people do get stuck every once in a while and sometimes showing up is difficult.

When that happens, I let myself create for the sake of creating. In most cases, most pieces will end up in the trash, and that’s okay. Some of the biggest artistic growth I’ve had happened after a big creative block.

Most of my creations deeply are inspired by nature

Most of my creations deeply are inspired by nature and its ever-changing form. Nature's raw and wild beauty reminds me of the beauty of the imperfect.

Being in touch with my creative nature, my sense of what’s beautiful has changed drastically. It made me realise that it wasn’t the perfect forms that I find beautiful.

The small dents, the oddity and the unevenness are the things that I wanted to see in a subject. They are more interesting and it makes me more curious and challenged.

As an individual, I’ve learned that imperfections are what define us as different from others. Those tiny cracks and quirks are our very own stories to tell and we should celebrate it because that’s where we nurture our creativity.

I used a different approach with this flower as I explore what else this brush can do for me. It was uncomfortable at first but I like how it turned out 😍

Are you an early or late riser?⠀
⠀
Papa used to wake us all up at 5am (or earlier) on weekdays and 7am during weekends. He doesn’t like us waking up late but he never really explained why, he just said “It’s not nice” 😂 😂⠀
⠀
It became habitual and early morning hours became the most productive for me. I like that I have a head start and mornings are just peaceful. There’s also a certain quietness on the mental level that I really like. ⠀
⠀
Anyway, practiced my negative painting here. Took me weeks to finish 😅 ⠀

An Open Letter To My Grandmother; Ma, Time and

An Open Letter To My Grandmother;

Ma,

Time and again you've shown grace and strength under most heartbreaking circumstances. And through it all you remained warm and kind hearted.

You never let me go out of the house without telling me how beautiful I am and that one day I will conquer the world. You never failed to remind me how to believe in myself and with hard work I can do anything. You gave me so much confidence and so much nurturing.

That one time I got so depressed and I couldn't sleep and eat for a month. Until you showed up. I didn't need anything else. I didn't need more time to recover because your presence was enough to make me feel better. Your presence was enough to make me want to watch basketball (Oh, how you love watching basketball) You always had that magic of making me feel better without doing anything. You will always be that fairy to me.

I’m lost now that you’re gone. But you made sure that it will be easier for all of us. And I thought I couldn't possibly admire you more but there you are, giving us strength. Giving us peace of mind and making sure we’ve felt your unconditional love.
Time and again.

With so much love,
Your favourite grandchild ✌

Painted this piece with no expectations. I let myself enjoy a day of just painting with good music.

Sometimes showing up for your art with intentions of just creating is more than enough.

Some of you already know that things were rough, stressful and sad for the past weeks. I wouldn’t lie, it’s been really hard.

Losing someone we love so much is the hardest challenge my family and I had to go through. It is NOT an easy process and some days are worse than others.

But sometimes when you feel helpless, the best thing you can do is to find a way to honor the memory of the person you lost. I want to honor it by living the life she always wanted for us, by chasing dreams she believe by heart I can reach.

I’ll stay creative and grateful. I’ll laugh harder and I’ll smile like I was smiling to her. ❤️

P.S
To everyone that’s been checking up on me I am thankful! I’m lucky to have friends like you all ❤️

Nothing ever seems too bad, too hard, or too sad when you've got a Christmas tree in the living room.

Merry Christmas everyone! 🎅

Before the year ends, let me congratulate you for being strong. Right now, things seem chaotic (Okay- that is understatement. 2020 exceeded the definition of chaos)⠀
⠀
Maybe, your job isn’t your favorite, your worries are eating you, your bank account looks scary. There’s just a LOT on your plate right now.⠀
⠀
Things didn’t worked out the way you wanted them to but I’m sure you’ve been fighting hard and working tirelessly and for that I am proud, for that you deserve a pat on the back, for that you deserve the glorious hope that 2021 brings. ⠀
⠀
And incase you forgot, let me remind you that your ability to conquer any challenges is limitless and you are a powerhouse! 👊🏼⠀

Experimented a little bit with this piece and I really love how it turned out ❤️ I’m aiming for for experimental pieces like this before I go back to teaching online and In-person classes late this year or early next year.

The thought of it is making me super excited! I can’t stop smiling 🙈

What are you up to?
