Freedom in Art

ART- RECOVERY WORD OF THE WEEK

Art, to me, is a form of freedom. I am free to draw or paint anything I want. Nobody has the power to tell you otherwise. I use art to express emotions and feelings. Using a color code, you could be able to identify how I am feeling. Sometimes I paint visions or memories, past or present, that have much deeper meanings. Paintings that are symbolic that I find myself connecting to, have much value because I can see or feel the relativity it gives. If I feel trapped, I can always get it out on paper. Knowing I have the freedom to express myself through art gives me motivation to unlock unknowns in life. I’m grateful I have the gift of art. Negative or positive, it helps me to remember stages of my life. I’ll always remember where and when I did each piece, all through my connection through my own expression.
