Loosen Up Your Art!
This week, I want to share what I think about the popular art term: “loosening up”. For me, loosening up isn’t about interpreting a reference minimalistically and thus aiming for something more abstract. Instead, I loosen up when I create freely. Imagination, empathy, and playfulness play an important role in this kind of art-making.

I find this free approach inspiring, and it makes every piece an adventure.
Imagination and Intuition
The longer I have created freely, the more I have started to value the ideas and expression behind the drawings and paintings, and not just focus on their technical quality.

Yes, we want to grow our technical skills, but it can’t be the only goal! The flow of ideas and inner connection matter. Thus, loosening up is freeing the mind and creating a mental connection, not just strokes.
Imagination and intuition – how important are they to you?
