What Is The Color Of Longingness?

Love, undoubtedly, is one of the easiest feeling to describe or show. It is celebrated anywhere, anyhow, and anyway we could. Everything pink, red, heart will instantly be described as love. Almost similar to happiness that is described oftenly with pop bright and colorful colors.

But, how about the feeling of longingness? Should it has a color, what color would it be? Is it the color of the dark evening, right after the sunset? With the purple and blueish color? Or was it a deeper green than an emerald, but lighter than a moss? And how about the shape? How will longingness shaped?

Or if grateful has a composition, how will it be? How would a building that is inspired by gratitude and is aimed to share it, be shaped? Or how should a necklace that is inspired by gratitude be designed and composed?

If sadness has sparks, how will it sparks? Will it be like the little star in the sky? Or will it be a glimmering yellowish lightbulb of an empty cafe? How will sadness looks like? Will it be sharp like a tusk? Or will it be vulnerable like a ceramic dancer figurine?

How do you capture and describe loneliness with just leaves on the ground, lighting, and no words?

In my world and line of work, this is like my daily ritual. This is just a small part of questions that I asked myself when I create something.

And this is exactly why I need to experience a lot of places, things, and emotions, including sadness and silence, to be able to understand, to describe, and to solidify them.

I asked a lot to my clients about their current state of lives, their thoughts, their emotional state, and even their wishes especially when they order custom pieces from me. It wasn't only to understand her/his perception and aesthetic values, but also to understand how to put the meaning on the artworks that I will create.

Many of them said that when they purchased custom pieces from me, they're not only getting piece of artworks, but also gaining some sense of self-assurance. And I couldn't be any happier, for that is what I aim for, through my works.

Two simple last questions before I ended this post; if you are a color, what color will you be? And if what you feel now has a shape or composition, how will it look like?

Education & Detachment

"I believe that the true value of education lies not in the accumulation of knowledge, but rather in the cultivation of the ability to educate oneself. It is not a finite endpoint, but an ongoing process that requires self-reflection, curiosity, and a willingness to learn. The same goes to detachment; it is not solely about releasing attachments to things and people, but rather about cultivating the ability to recognize our attachments and the hold they have on us. It is not about becoming indifferent or apathetic towards the world around us. Rather, it is about the process of cultivating inner freedom, that requires ongoing practice and self-reflection, much like the process of education. Both education and detachment are important for us to master, for only when we feel enough about ourselves and stop making our lives as the center of the world, or the projects to fix, we can then learn more about the universe and how life actually works. And isn't that the greatest desire a...

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 ...
