My Intentions

To Empower and Be Empowered

Yes, it is still the same goal, but instead of just empowering and be empowered through Creative Arts, I included Healthy Lifestyle, Diverse Insights, and Minimalist Living, on the list. As a contemporary artist, I believe that healthy living, diverse insights, creative arts, and minimalist living are essential to a fulfilling life, and their relationships with art are multifaceted.

Healthy Lifestyle

Health is my first priority now. I was hospitalized for a month during August - September 2022, because some viruses attacked my brain stem, and my infusion had to be replaced to the neck (CVC) because the meds should be inserted through the central vein. Since then, I put my health as my first priority above everything else. I've lost 24.5kg by end of March 2023, stabilized my uric acid, cholesterol, and glucose level to normal range, have a good exercise and eating routine. After all, healthy lifestyle is crucial in providing the necessary physical and mental energy for creative expression. By adopting a healthy lifestyle, one can achieve a state of balance and focus, allowing for a more profound connection with one's artistic self. In turn, art can promote healthy living by inspiring individuals to engage in mindful practices as well. Art is well known as the best media to heal one self and to channel one's emotional state.

Diverse Insights

Diverse insights are equally important in art, as they offer a wider range of perspectives and ideas, creating a more nuanced and multifaceted artistic experience. The incorporation of diverse cultures, traditions, and worldviews into art can provide a space for meaningful cross-cultural dialogue, fostering empathy, and promoting social change. Through diverse insights, art can become a powerful tool for social activism and cultural representation.

Creative Arts

Creative arts has always become the one of the cores of my life. Just like healthy lifestyle and diverse insights, to me, creative arts are also integral to a fulfilling life, as they offer a platform for self-expression and exploration. Whether through 3D painting, sculpting, jewelry making, digital imaging, fashion styling, or any other medium, art can enable individuals to communicate their innermost thoughts and emotions, making the intangible tangible. Additionally, the creative process of creating the art and presenting the artworks/ wearing it, can serve as a therapeutic outlet, allowing individuals to process and cope with life's challenges, to preserve life memories, and to express emotions or self actualization.

Minimalist Living

Minimalist living is a lifestyle that I've been applying into my life since more than 5 years ago. to me, a minimalist lifestyle is vital to promoting a sense of simplicity and clarity in one's artistic practice. By adopting a minimalist mindset, I can focus on the essential elements of my work, avoiding the clutter and distraction that can hinder my creative expression. Additionally, minimalist living does promote environmental sustainability, reducing the overall ecological impact of art production and consumption. That's why at VILICI Jewelry, we offer free repair service* to most of our products, because we believe in the value of sustainability.

In conclusion, as a contemporary artist, I believe that healthy living, diverse insights, creative arts, and minimalist living are integral components of a fulfilling life, with significant implications for art. Through their interrelatedness, these elements can inspire us to engage in more meaningful and purposeful artistic practices, promoting personal growth, social change, and environmental sustainability in the long term.

And that's exactly how I want my art and my life to empower and be empowered.

Now

H ello. You are on my Now page and these are the things that I'm currently focusing on: - Healthy, balanced, and mindful living is my first priority now. - I was hospitalized for a month from August - September 2022. Some viruses attacked a part of my brain and brain stem which causes imbalances on my motoric gravity, plus I had a gout attack for the first time in my life. My infusion had to be sewn on my neck cause the meds need to be inserted through the central vein for three weeks straight. I promised myself to never be that sick ever again, and determined to change my whole lifestyle, including to prioritize myself, my health, and my peace first. Since then, I have lost 22kgs, have been maintaining my uric acid level below 5.5, manage my cholesterol level down to 146, maintain my normal fast glucose level at 85, and been eating, exercising, and living healthier, plus doing so many changes in life including the way I sleep and raising my water intake level. - Creating intentio...

A Perfectly Happy Artist

-When Beatrix Potter was a little girl, imagining stories about rabbits that wear smart jackets, she was a lonely child who needed to concoct some company. And when Monet paint his impressionistic water lilies, he was a man deeply dissatisfied with traditional views of nature. The inventions of writers and artists are forged through dissatisfaction. That discrepancy between the world we walk through and the world inside of us encourages some to try to build a bridge (in the shape of a book about talking bunnies or an impressionistic painting). A perfectly happy artist would be a failure.- "I disagree on the part of the perfectly happy artist, tho." "Oh why?" "It just doesn't exist so it won't ever fail." --------- - Aim for a better tomorrow through healthy lifestyle, diverse insights, creative arts, and minimalist living. -  ViliaCiputra.com Thank you for supporting  my intention  through owning  my artworks , reading  my writings , and following ...

Noise

"At first, I thought it was just the noises of opinions in my head that distracted me, thinking that the world has become too noisy with too many sounds and distractions, that it becomes harder to really listen to myself. Turns out I was wrong. There were many noises around me that I didn't realize, engaging continuously with my brain and sensory, resulting a restless mind. I first noticed of how rare silence is, when I installed sound meter on my mobile last year, and started to use it ever since on every place that I visited, just to check the decibel meter around. The acceptable safe sound for average 24hrs exposure is below 70dB, yet we who live in the city, often being exposed to higher than that. For instance; the calmest midnight on my apartment would be around 45 - 52dB. Imagine daytime. The more I read and learn about how our body and mind work, the more I realize how important our surrounding and mental clarity is. How important solitude and silence are to the qualit...
