We were lucky to catch up with Amaya Lorè recently and have shared our conversation below.
Amaya , appreciate you joining us today. Almost all entrepreneurs have had to decide whether to start now or later? There are always pros and cons for waiting and so we’d love to hear what you think about your decision in retrospect. If you could go back in time, would you have started your business sooner, later or at the exact time you started?
If I were to go back in time, I would say that I’m exactly where I’m at and should be when it comes to my art and how I express it and where I’m growing and how I am expressing it, and the consistencies in the discipline that I’ve cultivated over time to express my art in the way that brings it into the world and the light that I truly feel is honest and true to what I truly am trying to capture. when it comes to my images and even my words, I would say that being 25, I am definitely just starting and Where I was at with my art in the past, that’s where I was at in the past so I would say where I’m growing I do feel like my art is in the space of where it needs to be, which is why I’m in the space of wanting to share it more and give it its time and it’s moment and not have it be in the shadows and hidden so silently and quietly.
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.
I would say growing independently as an artist who is self-taught over the years I have been inspired by many depictions of life, especially through graffiti and abstract work. I would say my art is a depiction of that erratic, sporadic, eclectic loud things that I a normally calm and quiet person may internally feel like expressing on Canvas and paper. My art is colorful, vibrant use of primary colors, the main colors that make up the majority of the colors we see throughout our day, it’s something that makes me feel awake. Makes me feel like I can capture the sun on a piece of paper you know, that’s what I feel like, that’s what I want my art to feel like and capture. I like to use a lot of acrylic pain occasionally oil, acrylic because it dries fast and you can work over quick if you make a mistake, but I do like to try to work in an order of where I can incorporate the mistake into my peace and have it be along the process just with anything which is why I lean more towards the Abstract route, but I try to embrace the harsh lines and the soft ones. I am definitely looking forward to capturing that essence in other materials and mediums, especially looking forward to expanding with spray paint and other platform types even outside of normal canvas and digital.
What’s a lesson you had to unlearn and what’s the backstory?
A really big lesson I had to unlearn was relying on motivation to be why I create my art, that was a really big one. I had to let go. I had to learn how to have art be a part of my daily routine since it’s a part of me and how I express myself, I needed to learn to have it be a part of my day-to-day even down to how I dress, it just needs to be a part of how you breathe sometimes if you truly do want to have the discipline and consistency. You gotta rely heavily on the discipline part and not the motivation because every day won’t be a motivating day but sometimes every day needs to be an art day and that’s what I’m even still learning to do but definitely expanding on that, that’s what 2025 is about.
We’d love to hear a story of resilience from your journey.
Working to be an artistic still in a world that is stifling creativity
