How I Beat Depression (4 Pics)

ADVERTISEMENT

A little over a year ago, I felt hopeless and depressed, just a few months after my daughter was born. I tried to redirect my feelings and try to synchronise the black and white in my soul. I turned to art, but I didn’t know exactly what I wanted to achieve as my goals were imprecise. After a year of wandering, after visiting my home town, I saw a painting by a still unknown artist for me , who arranged flowers in black and white in a more atypical, but at the same time fascinating way, a simple interweaving of lines and curves. And then I remembered my childhood. I was drawing exactly that, curved and straight lines, but aimlessly, or in other words – I was doodling. And so began my journey of trying to bring my childhood doodles to life. And I am enjoying it.

All my drawings are personally drawn using fine-liners with extreme precision, taking between 20 and 40 hours of drawing, time in which I put every bit of emotion. Yes, I am enjoying it.

    My art represents my soul and is the way I achieve harmony, through which I am quenching the hectic and stress of everyday life. It is mostly presented in black and white, interweaving the feeling of strength and endurance with purity or light where the colour note is the thread to nature.

    Woman once you feel you are healed, please, please, please, think about creating some art to sell. If nobody has ever told you, I'm telling you now, YOU ARE TALENTED. You could definitely have a one-woman showing of your art. Please let us know if you decide to do this.
