Painting Studies

ADVERTISEMENT

I think of creativity, art in general and painting in particular – both as a way of thinking, feeling and processing; as a way in which I bring the world inside and acquire ownership of it, make it mine, frame it within a canvas or a page. A way that is different from any other way of thinking and processing because it is done with other mental and physical tools and means, according to a different law. With a wider degree of freedom. But also as a world of reflections of reality, images and metaphors that, precisely because they are not verbal, allow for a different understanding of ourselves and the world. Therefore, I often use concepts and processes from the world of painting and stretch them out as a way to talk about the world and about us. In my opinion, this allows me to enrich and think about what I am doing when I paint in a new way, and also to tell myself the external and internal world in new ways, to discover it with new eyes, and sometimes to tear it apart and sew it back together.

    "The Workshop - for Creative Processes". Center for Art and Psychological Therapy. Creativity is a central component of our mental health and sense of aliveness. We see creativity - in its broadest and deepest sense - as the center of our ability to cope with internal and external reality. "To be authentic" - writes Simone de Beauvoir - "means becoming creative and claiming ownership of who we are, of our self, shaped by our choices."

    Hey there, Pandas! My name is Diana (though some prefer to refer to me as Diane, Deanna, and even Liana sometimes), and I am a Community Post Moderator Lead for Bored Panda. As my position title states, I am one of the people (employed Pandas for bamboo) over here who work with the community side of things on this website to ensure all is well, and while at that, I also help various creators and artists get recognition for the incredible work they do by connecting them to a large worldwide audience. Other than that, outside of work, you can find me brewing a nice cup of coffee, making a pizza from scratch, or baking brownies. I also love traveling, concerts, and cats (heavy on that, because I am a cat mom).
