Creating art is a personal journey, full of emotions and decisions that shape the work. If you have always wondered how to know when to stop, when you can say a creative work is finished, welcome to the club. All artists go through that situation every time they create. But over time I have learned some keys that help me make that decision and that I would like to share with you in case they can help you.
The creative process is a path full of emotional ups and downs that is born from an internal dialogue, from a restlessness. Each work entails a long and complex process that can last days, weeks or even years. During that time, a whole range of emotions and thoughts are experienced: frustration, joy, expectation… and ends up generating a deep emotional connection with the piece, which in some cases is difficult to break.
