Kaliisa Alma , love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?
I am a visual artist, and my favorite creative mediums are abstract painting, collage and photography.
My creative practice is ever evolving – currently I am really enjoying making abstract paintings.
In terms of my artistic process (in any medium), I follow my intuition.
Also, I am constantly researching art, design, culture, music… my mind is like a creative sponge!
A lot of influences flow into my art, somewhat subconsciously.
Is there mission driving your creative journey?
I am an artist because it is fun 😊
Being happy is my reason to make art!
In the famous words of Joseph Campbell, “Follow your bliss”
Looking back, are there any resources you wish you knew about earlier in your creative journey?
There are so many opportunities for artists to promote themselves!
Google search “Call for Artists” – and submit to opportunities that feel right for you.
