There is a time when the painting doesn’t exist yet. There are only surfaces waiting. The beginning before the beginning. This is that moment. Before color, there is matter. 18 MDF panels, primed in white. This is where the next paintings begin. #art #painting

There are only two people in the world you need to make proud: not your mother, not your father, not your husband, not your wife, and not even your children. I'm talking about the 8-year-old you and the 80-year-old you. If these two people are happy, then you've done a good job. Because your 8-year-old self didn't care about status, money, likes or professional titles. The most important thing for him was to feel safe, alive and to do things that made his heart beat with joy. And yourself at eighty? You won't be interested in the mistakes you made or the people who doubted you. You'll only be interested in whether you lived courageously, loved freely, seized the opportunities that frightened you, and said the words you always wanted to say. Right now, you are stuck in the middle: trapped under pressure and expectations, you are in survival mode. But once you are freed from these chains, you will see the two versions of yourself waiting for you: the child who dreams and the elder who remembers. Live a life that makes them both proud, because in the end you will realise that they were the only people who really mattered.

Don't matter, like a life style.

For an artist who paints, if the only goal becomes 'selling', the canvas dries up and so does his soul. You have to paint to say something that resembles us; every painting must contain a little bit of ourselves. Sales follow when there is truth, not when there is hunger. However, there is also another, harsher truth: hunger really does exist. It is not romantic to ignore it. An artist who has to pay the rent is not 'less pure'. He is only human. Painting just to sell is a problem. But forgetting why you paint is even more so. #art #isolabellart

Sometimes I dream of painting huge canvases. Then I remember that depth doesn’t depend on centimeters, but on how much of yourself you put into the gesture. I’ve already tried larger formats (60×80 and 65×54): they’re still unsold. Trust grows small. “Big” comes later, if it has to.

THE FOREST THAT REMAINS This is just the beginning. A rough sketch, the first step into an image that has yet to find its form. The painting is born from a photograph by a dear friend I met on Nostr, @Don't Believe The Vibe 🌱🍋🍊 who allowed me to use it. I’m not trying to reproduce a place, but to listen to what called me in that image. The rest will come with time, with layers, with mistakes. For now, there is only a path that begins. #art #artstr #painting #isolabellart View quoted note →
