After what you mentioned the other day about inspiration I guess I see some of your work in a new light. First off I think this is a case where art is a way of transforming reality -not escaping from it- especially when its an emotionally turbulent one. I wish I could do that! In this picture I can clearly see the subjects eyes almost swollen from crying so much, even a tear of blood and not being able to sleep because of the thoughts that invade her head. In my case it seems to be the opposite -although in fact it isnt- since stress or pain tends to block the peace I need for inspiration to come. But I guess stress and preocupation are not the same as pain since violent emotions are after all the most intense ones, from pain to love -the most violent of all feelings, and certainly the most inspiring one-. When it comes to that I think its a certain type of pain, a certain type of emotional unstableness which brings about inspiration. Stress, fear and wrath are definitely not the type of unstable states I could do art with, but perhaps a strong melancholy or love or hope in painful moments are the kind of emotions which can give the most inspiration. In fact, It may just be my case but when in those unstable situations, the creative impulse is unleashed, all the pain seems to transform into something different, almost beautiful, like reading a tragedy, its painful but there is something else there which is stronger than most feelings. And since life is part pain part happiness its as if it had to be told through the verb of art to become worth living.
