My Intention

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.

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 ...

25kg Lost

Finally. I've been working hard and waiting to see this number pop ups for few weeks. Just like how swimming 20 first laps are piece of cake, and finishing the 60-70 laps feels like forever, I feel the same here. The leaner I am, the harder works and efforts that I have to put for results to be achieved, especially on weight. It is not even enough to just work hard these days. I really have to do things smarter; paying attention on my sleep, macros, tricking my metabolism, IF, carbo-protein fasting, etc Size went down pretty stable (that's probably why most health coach told us to rely on size more than weight), but still weight is one of the numbers that I wanna change. Size, visceral fat, muscle mass, and weight numbers to be exact. My visceral fat has been going down 4 points, yet I still have to go lower 2 points more to be at normal level. I am nowhere near my goal, still have a long way to go, and I know it will only get harder. But, I'll be there. 🖤 If you are on th...

A Day Without Mobile Phone

I purposely left all of my mobiles and gadgets home yesterday, and went to the mall with Mr.Odd with just two books that I wanna finished. It was an interesting experiment. First, I totally forgot about Peduli Lindungi app that we need to enter any place here hahaha 😂. Luckily the guard was nice enough and let us in after we explain about the situation and showed Mr.Odd's certificates and told him that I had mine at the same time as his. This also made us learn that we actually can link each other's vaccines certificate on the app lol. Well, we do keep each other's now just to be safe for next time. Secondly, it was so freeing. I have been putting off my mobile oftenly lately on working and reading hours, which I found to boost my productivity and focus a lot. Yet to really leave it at home and not having its' presence was a totally different feeling. I didn't feel the need to check anything, I give full attention to whatever around me and to everyone in front of m...
