Must stop moaning

I have complained before about the so called Artist Block at least here and just few days ago . Today I realized that I must stop moaning, at least for the time being, and here are few of the  reasons:

  • I am lucky enough, in this period of my life, to leave in one of the most beautiful and inspiring places of the world: Venice.
  • I live very close to the sea, probably 20 meters and I believe the sea is very inspiring
  • I live about 100mt from where Tintoretto used to live and work, there are so many of his works close to me that is unbelievable.
  • Venice is so rich of libraries, galleries,  museums that is so easy to get inspiration.
  • Life here is relaxed and at a different pace, so you do not get stressed and have all the time you need to get inspired.
  • In Venice lived just to mention some Italian Artists  Canova, Canaletto, Vasari, Giorgione, Mantegna, Titian….

No more excuses then!

Artist’s block..oh no!

Tuesday, September 21st, 2010

I’ve had artist’s block that is for sure. I don’t know whether my lovely muse has gone on strike, or possibly a mix of  stress and lack of confidence, but I haven’t taken a picture since a couple of  weeks. Not only that but I really do not want even to take out my camera. This has happened to me before so I do not worry too much and I know what I have to do.  First, do absolutely nothing, and avoid to get stressed.  I know will come back. Second, sometimes we all need a break. Third, I go and look at paintings in galleries. I don’t know anything about art but I  love it.  If creativity is a reservoir, it definitely helps fill it up again. Fourthly, I go for walks with my iPod. The sea helps too, but there is no sea in Milan! And finally, I read lots .

And then out of the blue, I woke up this morning and was happy to take pictures again!
