Creativity plays vital and frontal role in life of portrait artists. To express their artistic taste, they work really hard to mix and match all sorts of apparently inconsistent and conflicting emotions, thoughts, philosophies and personality traits to craft something truly original and exceptionally meaningful. If you visit any art gallery art exhibition, you will see amazingly portrayed ideas in form of abstract to surreal and acrylic paintings. Instead of being an ‘individual’ with single-minded tendencies, artists prefer to show their ‘multi-angle’ personality. And, this is very much obvious from famous artist websites. Enlisted below are some of the key qualities you will find in almost all creative artists. Imaginatively Strong-Minded Apart from being gritty and determined, the imaginatively strong- minded artists are ones who are good at persevering against the obstacles. Predominantly for the imaginative worlds of their own, these artists are motivated and inspired of boldness to make their dream into reality. Openly Sensitive You will find most of the inspiring artists quite open to new experiences, vivid emotions and fertile ideas. But I found many of them, especially digital surrealism artists as their work is trickier than other art forms, very much sensitive to new information that […] Read More
Misconceptions about art have slayed many creative souls. To keep a creative person away from expressing himself is like killing him with slow poison. All the art myths must be exterminated now that are drilled into one’s head. Here are some of the mistaken beliefs. You must be naturally talented to craft creative art. This is the most terrific excuse I have ever heard and usually from people who either do not have dream of their own or could not pursue one for some reason. It’s too irrational to say that artists are born in heavens and sent to earth to cherish the rest of the lot. In reality, as we grow our interests start to develop and so do the creativity. Yes, they should contain artistic seeds to cultivate and for me, every normal person born with some. If not, he can plant and nourish at any stage of his life. With disability, you can never be an artist: Dear all, with this ridiculous statement, please get a life. Open your browser and do search for the disabled artists. You will find plenty of them with impressive achievements on their record. For example, handicapped Leanne Beetham renowned as mouth […] Read More
Creative art generation is a long term commitment and you might feel stuck in a rut. For the reason that it is an endless cycle wherein you need to paddle persistently or you will be out of the game.

From abstract art to surreal art, all artists including digital surrealism artists have faced this situation at least once in a life time if not so often. But, they faced it. Every now and then, I sense the same. Here are some ways of combating artist’s block, that’s what I call it. Give yourself a Pause: First and foremost action is to take a break from your work. Yes, if you step away from routinely done artwork for few days chances are high to grasp and bring in more creativity as you return to your abstract expressionism. As you give yourself a pause from your hectic schedule, I can assure that you will be more refreshed, energetic and excited about getting back […] Read More

A peep into the past shows that the scope of surreal art expanded on a diverse international level at the time of the literary and intellectual movements that began in early 20th century which were aimed to raise voice for defining modernism. During this time, many poets and known surrealist artists became prominent on the art scene. This was the era of World War I that had witnessed massive slaughter, inanity and propaganda. At the time of world war I, women were only an attraction for companionship for most writers and artists regardless of the difficulties they may be faced with in their relationships. In the western culture, women were confronted with oppressive bourgeois norms that had marginalized their status and presence within society. The founding fathers of surrealism viewed Woman as an embodiment of beauty, mystery, danger, the intuitive, irrational and mad . These were all the qualities and the capacities that perhaps they themselves wanted to access. The surreal art thus came forward as an attack on the bourgeois concepts. The surrealist artist did not follow a universal style and were rather connected with the rejection of idealism, typical stale artistic and intellectual conventions. They employed unorthodox techniques […] Read More
