My teaching is to release what people have inside them. You do things that are characterized by your inner self. One's will, thoughts, and feelings.
The words come from the Swedish furniture and interior designer Carl Malmsten.
Beautifully said.
Creation that truly touches and conveys something isn’t so much about format or technique. It’s about expressing the uniqueness we all carry within us.
When that part of us is allowed to emerge unfiltered, something fantastic happens. The formless and intangible are given a means of expression — the emptiness becomes fullness.
We all carry this fire inside. How we express it varies greatly, often in ways we wouldn’t even think of as “creative,” but it’s there.
And it wants to come out. It wants to manifest, to become...
- A painting.
- A cake.
- A joke.
- A poem.
- A flower arrangement.
Don’t keep this something inside. Don’t hide it from others. Don’t fall into the not-creative trap.
Share it with the rest of the world.
Keep what you got by giving it all away. Ian Brown
