Art has always been an interest,
and just recently has become a passion. As a young child art was the thing I
would go to for the release of my imagination as well as my emotions. I did not
see art as more than a personal thing. Then, I began thinking of my future.
Growing up people continuously ask, “what’s next?” and I realized I had to give
them an answer not only for them but for me as well. when I became a junior I realized I wanted to be an
artist on a professional level . Being at the Boston Arts
Academy has really sculpted my passion for the arts, and my experiences at the
Oxbow School made me more aware that art is my true love. Over the last four
years I have evolved into an artist I did not think possible at the age of
fourteen. I have been able to experiment with many media, opening my eyes and
realizing that art is more then paint on a canvas. I have learned so much while
in high school, much more about life due to the art that surrounds me. My art
has become a super power for me, I really feel like it could help me change the
world.
I hope to use my curiosity of the
world and share it with others through art. I know art is something I want to
do for the rest of my life. I'm not interested in art to earn money or gain
fame; I'm in art for the love and growth. I am infatuated with nature and
social change, and my art is greatly influenced by that. I often look at the change within the country, especially with in our
nation’s history. I also find a great correlation within nature and our current
society. We often learn and mirror the systems of nature. Nature,
social change, and revolutions create evolution in our world and I would like
to highlight that with my art.
My art is able to communicate so
much more than I could ever articulate with words. Art can be so meaningful and
the message can be much more understandable than any language could express.
I've only considered myself an artist for a short time, but my thoughts and
concepts have never been told so completely without the use of art. Art is a
language I have yet to master and, wonder if I will ever master.
As I further explore these vast
concepts within my art, I want to go deeper into my work with many materials. I
think I could uncover many sides of nature and social change for the rest of my
life, so I believe I can use a variety of materials to convey these ideas. Our society is constantly changing, which fuels me with continual inspiration.
I want my art to mean more, not necessarily creating more conceptual art, but deeper
art. I want my concepts to become more about world issues and the emotional
connection with people. My ideas are always expanding and my growth as an
artist is everlasting.
