Jenny Pagé • Thank you Aom~I too have worked for hours and abandoned or destroyed the work~in the same way and for similar reasoning-Ill always take something from it though.I think we all do. I think at least for me- this is the point: to engage myself in the ongoing conversation with my medium,discover what materializes,and yes,learn something new,perhaps about myself;this is,outside of the boundaries Im able to push the paint,clay or stone… : )..sometimes they do indeed push back. and this conversation feeds the creative flow and inspires me further!enjoy!

Didier Dubuy • Thanks Aom & Jenny to share your creation process LIVE !

Gerard Oroo Motondi • Our day to day life is composed of what we see ,what we hear, what we feel and what we aspire.The reactions to these aspects may be controlled by our instincts and cultural norms in the environment we are brought up.As a sculptor ,it is the way i react to these phenomenon that provokes the inner desire to express my self in a manner that will satisfy my feelings and let people interpret the shapes that i bring forth.Yes This is the creativity i am talking about.On the process of sculpting accidents occur and the result is not what i intended- true i re- think and the accident forms part of a new design.The creative mind accommodates the new phenomenon and life continues.When not fully satisfied you will always see a sculptor work continuously to a point where the shape will reveal an element that lets him/her relax.That is the flow of creativity.

Sunil Vilas • Welcome to Jenny Gt Boston, Didier from Paris France, Johnny San Antonio & Gerard joining us for the first time from Kenya, and thank you all for sharing your creative moments waking up on Sunday something to look forward and start our week on a high note.
The Art of Creativity and its power.., the journey to the heights of every artist’s life.., the source of infinite knowledge.., like a river it flows through its path.., opening the mind to new possibilities.., Creativity has no boundaries as soon as we contain or direct our thoughts, we limit its power to our own experiences.., There are two mind states been involved here the first being in the moment of a quiet period stirring ideas than working towards transforming to a producing a work of Art the result and the fruit of our efforts., Johnny I am in agreement with your sentiments of being a perfectionist in working a painting till it satisfy you. But let’s look at from the other perspective if you where to achieve greater enjoyment for each work that you complete this would lead to 200% satisfaction, think of the journey as being your genius moment to share with everyone!! And put more trust in your creativity as your guide.., Enjoy the rest of your Sunday..,

johnny johnston • Sunil as am FYI I am AOM Johnston Johnny San Antonio

Roman Serra • Creativity Flows,
How do I find myself during the “creative process? Simply put, I try to make every idea come to fruition ….regardless the amount of effort or process required. I try to remain uninhibited. I like to take things apart or cover them up and try to put them back together…..I am not afraid. For examples of my available work please visit www.romanserra.com

johnny johnston • Imagination is the release of inhibitions and the acceptance of free thoughts in movement. Too many in this world lock themselves into caves of structure afraid to express ideas which are believed to be abnormal and questioned, continually switching from mask to mask pursuing stability in the daily world they encounter. Creativity is the freedom to disagree with the norm, change the measurements, expand the possibilities and combine complete opposites, breaking boundaries and pursuing veins of thought far from conditioned expectations.

johnny johnston • Sunil, I would love to be able to reach 200% achievement but quite often there is a place deep within me which jiggles my hands, blinds my visions and whispers thoughts of impeding failure, taking me away from complete fulfillment in my journey whenever I approach the point of satisfaction in my creation .

Patricia Abramovich • For me art is a way of life.I fell in love with color and since I can t stop creating. I invite you to my site http://www.abramovichpatricia.com Best

Sunil Vilas • Good Morning / afternoon welcome to Helen Oxford UK, Roman Gt Detroit, Julie UK, Patricia Israel and Aom~J San Antonio thank you for joining us, here in the UK we getting ready for our winter’s cold nights and making the most of our sunny days.., All your comments are lovely personal experiences of creativity flowing through our mind and body.., Aom~J we all experience creativity moments all the time, we need to be more conscious of it, through regular practice each one of us has found our own way of harnessing this energy and to channel it through our work, I refer to our earlier conversation as being our moment of genius, the more time we spend in this state of mind the more we are developing our Art of Creativity.., This I also refer to being in the quiet state of mind and I like your analogy of a spigot or an archer the action of pulling the arrow back than once we visualize our target we let go and trust our creativity and skills to complete our work of art. The result of our action is what we see the fruit of our efforts. Sometimes these genius moments can lead us into different world we yet to experience, also creative at its best that come to your mind i.e. writing a song; a cook recipe; playing a musical instrument or sculpting in your case I could see you taking up a project building from scratch your love of one of these classic cars that inspire you in your work. Even better let’s ask the members of the group if any one had experiences of these creative moments and would like to share with us?

John Stoltzfus • We can struggle at it for days, then we ride the wave of calm to an unbelievable storm, it is a constant battle to avoid tunnel vision, so sometimes it is best to walk away and then let “Art” come back to you, like a tame animal, it doesn’t work to chase it. Art can be like a calm wave, then on to a storm that is absolutely insanely crazy. Be loose, don’t be tied into a knot or like a keg of dynamite ready to blow up.
“Art is like Dessert – The best is yet to come”
Always have fun creating 🙂

Ron Seivertson • there is a poem/prose by bob dylan called ‘last thoughts on woody guthery’ that sums up a lot of it for me. I listen to it often, esp. when I have had a hard day or need bit of a mental boost. Here is something I wrote a while back.
Those who have gone before us hold a lamp of inspiration. Our pathways are unclear, mountains and valleys to be crossed unknown. Yet deep inside us is this relentless yearning; a call to achieve, to explore, to develop and express.
Not all will follow the roads less traveled. Many will scoff; others are terrified at the mere idea of a long solo journey fraught with such uncertainty and risk.
The few that admire and dare to be inspired by our passion and intrigue will certainly claim their own right of passage as they should, giving regard to the divine universal spirit shared among all who bother to look inside.
It is for these people we carry on and push the boundaries of our own limitations knowing full well if we don’t we will suffer.

Didier Dubuy • Being an artist is certainly a risky way of being but, does he have any other choice? What’s have to be said must be, otherwise he could be smothered. Devoting your time to a personal, unique & lonely quest it’s not possible to stick around & serve social purposes, only to compose with & in some cases absolutely not.
Final social recognition is a “russian roulette” game – five bullets in the charger with one missing- or worst; to become an acclaimed fashionable decorative something, a successful production unit ( I won’t name anybody, definately ). On the other hand he’s a voice for those who have none, an access to a field of conscience & by the way absolutely redeeming if I can dare it. Sorry if I may look weird a bit but I wanted to catch the ball thrown by Ron…

antonino Gambino • Hi to everybody, if I can say, I arrange with how much I dictate from Sunil “For an artist to daily observer of life in light and colour.” Besides for an artist. at least for me, the primary assignment is the to tell the context partner / economic / historical of the epoch in which alive. The in general psitivis and negative, beautiful and ugly, but always sees with an optics of positivism, always represented with a lot of light and color “Arte=rappresentazione of the beautiful one.” Because “The art renews the people and tells the life of it”, you see the graffiti that we find again in the caverns, they testify ago a world ended millennia but that it relives thanks to them. I wish me to have expressed well the concept, regards to everybody and good day

Norma Duncan • Creativity, I see this as the art of creation. For there are many reasons behind one creation,
But at its core pure state it begins from a feeling an emotion, which is then expressed. The art tells a story it has its own character and its own reason for being. Sometimes the art is not recognized until it is understood. Until it is seen. Art cannot be planned to a degree, it depends on what is produced. I start a painting then I look for one thing before it is shared with the world. It has to have something which I call a genius flow before it is shown. This is something which I have been able to identify. As a new technologies inventor, something deeper is produced. It is thought about, practicalities, is it timeless, is it something which will serve, I ask myself these questions and not only look at the actual presentation of the new technology but all its functionalities. It is a different creative process to that of a work of art. It is intellectual where as art is more emotional and inclined to move the viewers soul. One day I will write a book on the art of creation because it cannot be summarized in one or two paragraphs. It is technical but also simple. It is more than just laying down a sketch or a painting. To me it is deep and has profound meaning. I combined digital technology with the emotionism-art works. The easy way to explain this process is that I felt it is necessary to add in digital technology into the art as this is a new digital age. The art should reflect this new age and therefore become digital enhanced art and reflect the time we are in right now making it different to 20th century contemporary art, indeed identifying the 21st century instead. This has made my work collectible. You can view emotionism-art works on the website. http://www.emotionism-art.co.uk My works are advanced I have an ability to create 5 years ahead of the trend. The intention behind the collectors emotionism-art work was to create new art for a new time it was intended to be exhibited about 3 years from now. It was fate that lead me to exhibit at a local exhibition in June 2012 and since then the interest and demand for me to teach this art style has grown. The first emotionism-art session is in October 2012. The activities of the emotionism-art movement will be displayed in a forum where any artist can contribute to the movement and openly share and discuss ideas and exhibition dates. I have two gallery representatives, a local gallery http://www.opalpictureframesandgallery.com and Artrepublic. The second gallery representative is waiting for any future opening and therefore be it next year or 10 years from now I have already agreed to have them as my second representative. Artrepublic represent Banksy and other known leading contemporary artists. It is an honor for me. The emotionism-art works have been open to the public online since august 27th 2012. The website has generated approx 1400+ hits in the first month being online. That indicates to me that there is a strong market for the works and I am sure collectors will start to purchase these works as time goes on. I am in growth still emerging.
Art for me is more than a creative process it is the essence of my heart and my soul. Please feel free to contact me if you would like for me to delve deeper into this subject. Thank you for allowing me to contribute to the debate.

Hannah Hardy • Hello to you all! and thank you for involving me in this interesting discussion. It is fascinating to explore the creative mindset..
For me life is directed by an attitude and I see that my work as an artist is to direct that perception into the wonderful. Seeking out the beautiful in subtle places and transforming the tiresome into the fantastical

Philippa Sibert • Creativity is an inescapeable force that’s effects all of creation. The artist job is to expose this force to the world in whatever way they choose. I live, eat, breathe making art. The older I get the more it effects every part of my life. My artwork, my relationships with nature, family and friends even down to making soup in my kitchen!
At times it is extremely hard to actually put into words what it does mean. I read somewhere once that ‘words are too thin to hold this complexity’. We live in a world of words and words have a beauty all of their own and can express feelings and emotions.
My work is about my relationship with the natural world and all these things provide stimulus, possibilities and endless ideas.
It’s good to share these things.
I live in a beautiful part of West Wales. Some of what I do and make is on my website. Www.philippa-sibert-art.com

Julie Askew • Pure Creativity for me is when your mind is lost in your work and the hours pass without your knowlege – you have been someplace else. It is as Johnny says – instinct.
The rest is hard work!

Jan Aanstoot • The creativity of other people can be a source for creating new arts. For me the 14 aria’s of The Matthew Passion by J.S. Bach were a big source of inspiration. I painted the 14 peaces, 120 x 130 cm. each, within half a year. It was an amazing experience working all that time in a flow. Thank you Bach!!!

johnny johnston • Creativity to me is elusive, fighting the idea of exposure and becoming unraveled allowing me the opportunity to see inside the walls which it conceals. And pushing hard to force creativity seems to always result in frustration and a lock-down like that of a young lover who seeks attention which when honored, turns and becomes disinterested and coy. Like a metronome, the energy of this sensation slowly winds down until the biorhythm that has taken me into this place of creativity fades, and I wait for its return..

anil kumar sinha • Thanks Sunil ji.Namaskar.Happy to connect with you on linkedin.Art is not only for pleasure.We can use our power to serve the society.In India from gangotri to ganga sagar i am making video film,Taking photographs to paint the beauty of ganga & the ancietis cities on the bank of ganga like varanasi,allahabad,patna,buxar,mungher,haridwar & so many others.Without water our civilisation can not survive.our goal is to teach our younger generation to save & clene ganga.

John Adams • Hello to you all. I have read a lot of the comments on creativity and art here. The one comment I relate to most it is from David Borrington.
I am an artist, and have been constantly appalled with the whole elitism and unfairness of the art establishment. From the start of our careers in art college artists art put at a disadvantage by the system of teaching. Most of the tutors are not practicing artists and have little skills or knowledge worth passing on to the students. Many students have their whole self esteem shattered by the cruel critical attitude of some of the tutors. When the artists start out on their careers, they face years of poverty and rejection and humiliation from galleries and people in power in the arts who seem to think they are above the creators making the art that keeps them in a job. It is the lucky few who get picked by the curators who succeed, how they get picked is a mystery to me, but in the current trends of art it seems to be more and more baffling how some of the art merits selection. There is so much art speak which has been cultivated by these curators that have become so detached from the artists and the art making process.
On the positive side, I have been a very sensitive person all my life, and found the constant rejection very hard to deal with, so I have worked myself to promote my own art, I have kept away from the art establishment and am lucky my paintings have been desired and purchased by many important collections in my home city of Cork. I can only dream of the day when my art will be accepted by the art establishment and to have curators working with me to help me forget about all the hard work it takes to promote myself, and just get on with the work that I should be doing which is painting. To be an artist is a lot more than just being creative. I find it hard to concentrate on painting much of the time as I have so much more to think about, just getting ahead being a full time artist. Creativity is a wonderful thing. Each and every one of us is born with our own talent for whatever we are good at. This I think is the meaning of life. We must follow our talent, otherwise we waste the reason we are here. I sometimes wish my talent was something else, something that is easy to make a living out of. I have tried to be a carpenter, theatre set painter, cook, bar manager, arts events organizer, radio presenter, so many things, but I always realized that my mail talent was painting and I must follow that path of creativity. It is not a great joy as so many seem to think, it is a long long hard slog, it can break people, their soul and spirit can snap at the pure hardship. It is such a shame there is not more appreciation for this struggle amongst the people running the arts, and the public at large. Having the talent and will to be a creative artistic person, is a great gift, but can be a heavy burden to many too.
It is a hard time these days this recession is making it impossible for artists to make a living.

Benjamin Casiano • Art has been a journey of constant change. My perspective evolve emotionally and spiritually. I could not imagine my life without creating something from just a few jars of paint and a large canvas. It is a tranquility I have been unable to find anywhere else.

David Walker • Thank you Sunil for the invitation to join the group. I think creativity can be effected immensely by what is going on around us, and this can influence the creative thoughts a great deal. This obviously changes and the restraints are on sometimes when producing a commissioned piece of work that has very specific requirements.

Renee Brown • I am so humbled to be able to receive Splices of direction and insight as I flow thru the process of creativity.I have found stillness taps me into unchartered dimensions of reality.

Oliver Perry • Good day to you all. I’m new to the group so I’ll give you a little background then add my thoughts. I have spent an age exploring cubism and immersing myself in that way of thinking, this stems from a thesis I had to write at school and along with a little surrealism became all encompassing. However after many years and much debate I realised that I was answering a question that was 70 odd years old and I should probably do some thing a little more contemporary. So I have. You can see all of my work at http://www.ollieperry.com The new pieces are under “contemporary thoughts” feel free to add any comments good or bad, I’ll make of it what I will.
Art should be the building blocks of life, certainly for the majority on this forum, it should flow through everything you see, touch, do. A good chef will tell you that half the battle is good presentation. Why waste time on poor design when a better more considered alternative is available, surround yourself with things of beauty, is life not to short for bad wine? We all see things differently, and that is the beauty of it, but what we must do is see, and I know to many people who go through life without looking, never stopping to smell the roses, always looking at the ground, never what is in front of them.
Art can be seen everywhere, not just on gallery wall’s and we should all embrace it. In American Beauty a plastic bag swirling in the wind took on a life of it’s own, but to some it would always be no more than littler, what I am saying is that there are ways of seeing, not just seeing.

Ron Seivertson • beautiful leslie…

Roberto Tres • Thanks Sunil. I think creativity is a point at which all our previous observations come together and express themselves. There are thoughts and contextual links regardless of the ways in which we express ourselves. Like any creative thought requires energy is helpful to understand write notes on their work by analyzing the flows of ideas. Creativity has many connections with the experiences of our lives, changing the way we see things.

Nat Connacher • Creativity is about having the courage to step out of your ego and embrace exploration over expectation. And you do this by being in relationship with this simple idea: “I do not know”.
When you live this relationship, you will find your peace, your joy and your self.
And anyone can live this way!

johnny johnston • Chris, not a glass guy but love the scotch. Beautiful work!

Shraddha Devangodi Dushyanth • For me, Creativity & Life goes hand in hand ,whether life is giving a good experience or bad all is the outcome of our creativity i.e.the way we live life & the most important thing,MAN himself is a god’s great creation…….

johnny johnston • Sunil, You do inspire and offer a window into the most difficult part of becoming successful which is the ability to place the artist with the lover of art and the artist with those of his own kind to offer inspiration and spirit. Many thanks my friend. JJ

majd patou fathallah • Sunil, I think you have so many opinions on what art means to a ever growing variety of artists ..what can one add to this ever growing list ? 🙂 But since you have asked us all to say something here is my contribution :
Life is Art in all its forms, no matter what kind of art an artist chooses to manifests ..

Richard Straley • In my reaction to landscape I am influenced by my Buddhist beliefs and the sense of time passing, seasons and the never ending stream of life and consciousness. This is what I would hope in some way to communicate through my work. After 30 years teaching art college with an increasing sense of frustration at the ‘factory’ attitude the system takes to education in the fine arts, well said David Borrington, I took premature retirement to concentrate on my work. I am not cutting edge or even contemporary, whatever that means. I’m 68 years old and I paint……

Christiane Behrmann • Listen to music when I work, painting and sculptures rhythm, not with poetry there I need silence. Love to dance when I do oil paintings on the easel. Not a musician but multi media artist and designer. Inspired by mysticism and nature.
