Ideas are the beginning of a DREAM :)

Every single person, not just an artist, have ideas, dreams, ideals, but only an artist is capable of doing art with all that feelings, thoughts and expressions!
An artist is a person whose creative work shows sensibility and imagination. But, How? Well, I’m the kind of person who thinks that everything you do have to have “heart” or like to put all your illusions in it, that is going to give the especial touch, the “extra” to whatever.
Then, an artist have first to have an idea, or not necessary an idea, just see, live or imagine something that inspires them to paint, sculpt, draw, write, etc. for example, as I paint, when I’m in a park, for example, and I see a little girl with an ice cream and her mom walking with their dog, maybe it inspires me to create something as I see love between them or I don’t know, the laugh of the girl, the barking of the dog, smell of the perfume of the mother, the imaginary flavor of the ice cream…anything can be a particle of inspiration.
The emotions are a huge influence when making a work, for example, the tone of the color depends a lot in the mud you are in that moment, if you’re happy the blue probably would be brighter like a sky blue or an indigo, and if you’re sad or angry it would probably be like a navy blue or a cobalt one; same as the expressions or the shapes of what you are drawing or sculpting, etc.
That’s why when you see a work of art you feel different emotions, like sadness, happiness, etc.
