"... Such a draft does not need to be perfectly finalized - if it is finished, seen, thought (and sensed) well, it can be much more delightful (and intense) for the lover than a highly performed art work."
J.W. von G.’s words crossed my mind after discussions about my draft called “Undefined” and they describe the experience I have made during my short period of painting.
Sometimes I start with a special idea, think about it a lot, paint for days and days... The longer it takes, the more effort and “head” I put in it, the more the “soul” is getting lost. In many case I do not even finish the work.
But if there is a very strong emotion that I just want to get rid of by putting it on paper (sometimes within a few minutes - without thinking), the painting touches the viewer’s heart. Without any need to perfectly finish all details. A few lines can be enough. It is like opening your innermost self for somebody else. Very intense… He can “see” what you feel. (Several of such drawings you can find in my gallery called “Fading away” e.g.)
These two kinds of painting I call my "Head works" and my "Heart works" - with totally different intentions:
"Head"
is definitely long work with different techniques, trying to perform as high as possible – hoping that the viewers will enjoy it.
"Heart"
is pure emotion - just getting rid of a feeling in a quick way – not a single thought about the result or if anybody will like it.
Well, I am a newcomer... So I am very interested in the feedbacks of the professional artists and the way they design their way of working.
