Finding Inspiration in Everyday Moments for my Artwork

Written by Feyza Poyraz on Mon Apr 08 2024

Today was one of those days where inspiration seemed to be hiding from me. I sat in front of my blank canvas, staring at it as if willing the creativity to come pouring out. But nothing came. It felt like a daunting task, trying to create something meaningful and impactful when my mind felt so empty.

As an artist studying animation, I constantly strive to find inspiration in the world around me. Whether it's through observing people on the streets, listening to music that moves me, or simply taking a walk in nature – there are endless sources of inspiration waiting to be discovered.

One thing I've learned along the way is that sometimes, inspiration can come from the most unexpected places. It could be a conversation with a stranger that sparks an idea for a character design or watching how shadows dance across walls during sunset that inspires a new color palette for my artwork.

I remember one particular moment when I found myself stuck in traffic on my way home from university. Instead of feeling frustrated by the delay, I took out my sketchbook and started doodling random shapes and patterns. Before I knew it, those simple sketches evolved into intricate designs for an animated sequence I had been struggling with for weeks.

It's moments like these that remind me of the beauty in everyday life – how even mundane tasks can lead to extraordinary bursts of creativity if we're open to them.

In today's fast-paced world filled with distractions and noise, it can be challenging to slow down and truly immerse ourselves in our surroundings. But finding time to pause and appreciate the little details – whether it's sunlight filtering through leaves or laughter echoing down busy streets – is essential for nurturing our creative souls.

I often find solace in quiet moments spent alone with my thoughts; allowing myself space away from screens and technology helps clear my mind and allows room for new ideas to blossom organically.

Art has always been more than just a hobby for me; it's a form of self-expression where words fail me but colors speak volumes. Each stroke of paint on canvas feels like releasing pent-up emotions onto surfaces that hold stories untold yet deeply understood within their layers.
