@@sheholdsontillmay462 exactly. But... as we (or should I say I...) get older, I refuse to spend as much time with the criticizing voices anymore. I do what I do and if I like it, I let it fly. Just keep my head down and do the work. The self-doubt is usually coming from a place that's quickly losing real estate in my being. Good luck!
As someone that overlapped with Liana professionally (but never in person, I think?) she is a genuinely lovely person that everyone adores. She deserves all the praise!!!
This was such a pleasant surprise! I’ve been a long time follower of Liana on Instagram, how nice to finally put a face to a name :) I’d love to see more content with Liana in it, she’s one of my favorites!
I love her genuine, honest and raw vibe that comes through her work. It’s something I often struggle to balance with in my own drawings. I’ve noticed the stuff I actually draw for myself, the ones I don’t intend to post on IG/ social media, are always better in some way.
Hi Katie, thanks for the documentary recommendation, I find her work and vulnerability comforting and affirming. I would live to learn more about her background :)
Didn’t know her. Now I love her. She comes across as being herself, vulnerable, following her heart which takes her through highs and lows. I’ll rewatch this many times for inspiration.
wow, i absolutely loved this! an incredibly creative and unique professional giving us a glimpse into her day-to-day. was also a big fan of the relevant and specific topics of discussion -- they made the comments all the more relatable to me. i would love to see more content like this -- thank you!
@@vaughnvdyk8051 is not the same science is precise and mistakes are not welcome in surgeries but when it's come to art any way to expression is welcome and allow what she does is apparently simply ,no details and a little primitive under that is the human interaction she describes with silly dialogues . There is a beauty in simple things , realism is about to replicate something that is already there we already see and yes some people is amazing on that but a camera does it too .
Her drawings are so simple, yet so on point. It's nice to see someone who don't care about this stigma that art needs to be complicated and sophisticated for people take it serious or find it deep.
Just picked up Return to Romance, and Liana's Introduction is here. It occurred to look this person up. Finding this very sweet VIDEO introduction, makes me cry. I look forward to purchasing a book by Liana Finck now. SOLD.
The following are URLs for Liana’s Instagram and the artists she mentioned (they all deserve the recognition): instagram.com/lianafinck?igshid=keu9z8hw3wgs instagram.com/rubyetc_?igshid=1xe3dvrt6d9nq instagram.com/eugeniaviti?igshid=1k4w0a6t73crg instagram.com/lord_birthday?igshid=axr2wanm6lzv instagram.com/juliajwertz?igshid=c9tqljt8ezuu
So, what have I learned from this? As a fellow artist, this reinforces my belief that 'Voila.. here I am, this is me and this is my art, love me, hate me, love it, hate it, I REALLY don't care, because I had the nerve to try this'. I see the way some non-creatives look at me... I see the envy in their eyes, they know that I am infinitely richer than they ever could be, the daily satisfaction of having followed my heart years ago is a currency that cannot be measured with a calculator yet this is the greatest investment you ever could make! BRAVO, I love this little film, a thought-provoking thick slice of honesty, a rare gem in the 21st century.🏆 May your 2020 be your year.. it certainly looks like a lucky number anyway.
Only if they could find their unique way of what art is to them then they wouldn't be so judgemental. I totally get ya. I used to care what other people thought of how I projected my ideas and feelings to the point of falsely expressing how I felt. Now and so forth there are no fucks given. Take it or leave it, this is me you know. Similar to what you have said, "here I am ". The act of judging will always be there because it has always been there, but once an individual learns to become comfortable with themselves that's what really matters. Being able to become comfortable with all aspects of who you are and how you articulate can be freeing. As long as it is not hurting anyone. Man art is just such a therapeutic way of saying whatever the fuck we want, whatever matters to us.
@@tiyanawilliams5070 I like what you say Tiyana, perhaps that is all it is... 'freedom of expression'. It wasn't until I first made this leap and HAD TO make my 'art' pay that I realised I really had fabricated a totally fake me.. doing a job I didn't like, going to places I didn't like adn working with people I didn't like. Yet when I asked all those around me who claimed to feel the same why the were putting up with it, they said 'The pension at the end'. The PENSION AT THE END!!! The clue is in the title THE END... its too late then, NOW is all that matters. I done know anyone who has the zest to reinvent themselves when they are 66 with a bad hip, do it NOW. Tear that apple from the tree and take a bite out of it so big that you swallow the pips AND the stalk... Today is all the matters. Be Brave and don't look back or down. Best of luck to you... here's to 2020. 🚀
@@nigelcarren It is all from the perspective of staying in the present and going forth with manifesting something that is treasurable to one. You sure do have a point, "Be brave, don't look down or back". I will study and keep that in mind, thank you. Cheers to you as well and off to us looking forward to 2020!
Wow. This is just amazing. I’m an aspiring artist and I thought simple art was bad and not good enough and so I stopped drawing as much. It’s like the detail is there is the simplicity of the style. I’m instantly a fan of her and she inspires me.
Interestingly, I have come across a few collage artists that suggested simple collage creations rather detailed ones. everyone has their own taste, but if you like creating simple art to do so! It'll develop as you go. Good luck with your journey! Art peer.🎨🤟🏾
1:15 Clearly a b-roll shot of the CTA in Chicago with the Wyndham Grand in the background. Cut from the Q Line to the Red Line. LOLOL Nevertheless, a fun video and a great artist.
Very candid interview... I love your style ! As an inspiring artist; I've learnt, that bottom line; I draw for myself..and myself only! I've learnt to satisfy myself with my artwork, before I expect to satisfy anybody else... And when critique comes; I blame the person doing the judging, for feeling whatever they are feeling about my art pieces...It's their fault feeling their way, not mine.!! ..sounds corny and selfish, but knowing this my creativity runs free and free of guilt and free from depression...
No wonder you're always looking down with your eyes closed ('like you're asleep'), your workspace and where you inform yourself about the world is usually there.
The Matadore I can personally recommend melatonin instead, much lower chemical/drug level with similar benefit. I find 1 mg about right if your brain won’t stop running overtime, less groggy in the morning. :)
There are lots of OTC options for sleep. Google: Rutecarpine, L-Theanine, tryptophan, you'll find others. Caffeine (at all) blue light too late, irregularity, and being sedentary all day will thwart your efforts at sleep. This isn't an easy endeavor; you have my best hopes for smooth sailing through your sleep routine!
It depresses me too. Whether or not how much I put into my art will ever be enough. If I'm maintaining how truthful I can be, and worrying if my curiosity will fade. I'd say keep on! Let me know what you think of this, but I'd like to think that it is better to struggle by working/getting from underneath that rock (even when it is hard) than to completely lose the interest of being curious. Just the act alone of awakening, healthy-replenishing yourself, and attempting to start something new or continuing with something that you've been doing is a jumpstart.
@@sneekz07 Give it another read. No. I was trying to say that the feeling that she is going through (struggling part) could be better to face than to lose curiosity altogether. Artists tend to be too hard on themselves on whether or not they are giving their all. I don't know how you came up with that assumption.
We're all struggling. Some meet with some success in what we do. Others do not. Maybe move the goalposts, perhaps change the game. Who knows what the correct answer is or answers are. We may find out for ourselves we may not. Life it seems is this way.
@Gioia Grazia cause this is like talking to a crowd but not looking at them. I understand shyness, she's aloud to look somewhere else, but I think this was way too much.
I LOVE HER!!!!!!!!! Have been following her for years she is a true icon of mine and really I would say a defining aspect of who I see myself as. One day when I have my own home I will personally buy so many prints from her to be on the walls her art is so beautiful and poignant.
I think she has Aspergers. It’s not a judgment. It’s an observation. Folks with this tend to be highly intelligent. There’s research that has demonstrated that folks who are left-handed(writing, drawing, etc)tend to be more intelligent than those who are right-handed. They are absolutely wired finish whatever they start. They are even more hard wired to maintain routines. These are folks that no one has to tell them, “do your job”. Whatever you assign them, they will do it and do it well at that. There is a lack of eye contact and an ongoing challenge of verbally expressing emotions that is noticeable. Introversion is a subjective term because everyone at some degree is introverted. All of these things makes Ms. Finck quite endearing.
Thank you so much for sharing your creative process and routines. The marriage of creativity and business can be difficult to navigate, so it is so helpful to see an example from someone at the top of their game. This was both so interesting and just a lovely story at the same time :)
I could sense there's more on her character she's hesitated to show.She's very careful in devulging every pieces of her thoughts,so,nobody would notice she has problems coping up,I can't well explain,but,depression lingers on
Being shy is not being an introvert. Introversion is a very well defined personality trait, and you can't tell someone's introversion/extroversion just by an interview.
Here I am, a 45 year old with an Illustration degree from 2000 and making excuses why I can't do anything because I am out of practice and she is a successful artist, not focused on realism like me. 🎉
