emotional intelligence and intuition as expression

emotional intelligence and intuition. exactly as the title says. that is where most of my inspiration comes from. the ability of sifting through emotions and feelings that i am feeling at the time and sprouting creative concepts from that, and they might not make sense i might add. i might be sitting with a friend on a hot chocolate date (i don’t drink coffee) and i see someone pass by that looks but also feels interesting to me, i hear a song that sends me into an emotional spiral, i read a poem or a verse from the Bible and it raises thoughts and relatability in me. recently i’ve been thinking about creating something around Job, the way his faith was strong in the deepest of pits, feeling so alone and helpless. as how i feel at recent times . and most of us.

visual stimulation is very heightened in me. words on paper become alive. physically i might pass by a location unknown and instantly see how i could use it in product marketing or fashion aspect. muse is all around me, with breath and without it. i am inspired by gender neutral art, it makes me feel like one simple human, a small part of the concept of humanity, without a description to who they are. i believe that it is very special to not identify as a male or female when it comes to art, art is beautiful when it is neutral and open.

when someone’s art and creativity challenges me at first, i somehow feel the urge to disagree, but i realise that i actually cannot disagree, i can only like or dislike, but even if i dislike something about it makes me like it, because i realise i don’t fully understand it and it makes me restless, in a good way. art challenges me. and i love to challenge myself in expressing.
