May be it is amazing, but not always art gives me inspiration.
More inspiration? Often music. How does that happen? What do I feel? I’ll give you an example from one of my favourite songs by Bonnie Raitt. In the chorus of the song ‘Angel from Montgomery’ she sings the words, ‘Make me a poster of that old rodeo’. I am deeply touched every time I hear it. Although it is melancholy I enjoy it, I can relate emotionally, and I feel an un-nameable kind of consolation. I want to paint like that; as perfectly as I can, so that it will touch others in the way that the song touches me.
Even sport inspires me! Yes, I love football. A goal scored by Lionel Messi can bring me a moment of ecstasy, which I attempt to transport into my paintings.
