We recently connected with Ursula Schwartz and have shared our conversation below.
Ursula, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today Did you always know you wanted to pursue a creative or artistic career? When did you first know?
When reflecting on my artistic journey, I can confidently say that I knew I wanted to pursue an artistic career professionally from a very young age. Art has been an integral part of my life for as long as I can remember.
From my early childhood, I found immense joy in expressing myself through various artistic mediums. Whether it was drawing, painting, or creating sculptures, I was constantly immersed in the world of art, experimenting and exploring new techniques.
As I grew older, I dedicated myself to honing in on my skills and expanding my artistic horizons. I sought out opportunities to learn from experienced artists and studied art in various forms.
Over time, my artwork began to receive recognition and appreciation. .The growing demand for my art validated my belief in pursuing an artistic career professionally.
Seeing my art collected by individuals who resonated with my work further reinforced my decision to pursue an artistic career.
While I have encountered challenges and faced moments of self-doubt along the way, my unwavering passion for art has always driven me forward. I believe that true fulfillment comes from following one’s passion.
Art has shaped my identity, I am grateful for the opportunity to pursue my dreams and share my artistic vision with the world.
As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?
I’m thrilled to have this opportunity to share a glimpse into my artistic world. Originally hailing from the breathtaking landscapes of South Africa and currently residing in the vibrant West Palm Beach, Florida, I have embarked on a creative journey that fills my heart with joy.
What makes me truly proud is my ability to bring beauty and positive messages into people’s lives through my art. My passion for painting stems from a deep desire to create uplifting experiences and inspire individuals to embrace life.
At the heart of my artistic repertoire lies my love for abstract art, which allows me to explore and express emotions, ideas, and concepts in a profound and visually captivating manner. Through vibrant colors, dynamic brushstrokes, and intricate textures, I aim to evoke emotions and provoke thoughtful introspection in the hearts and minds of those who encounter my work.
Additionally I paint a series called JUST B THAT. These paintings are fun and magical. The CROWNS OF POWER: are a part of this series. They are beautiful, sparkly and a symbol of love.
What truly fills my heart with happiness is witnessing people who yearn to surround themselves with beauty and positive messages. It is an incredible feeling to know that my art plays a role in brightening their lives and inspiring them to embrace optimism and gratitude.
I invite you to explore my artistic creations and immerse yourself in a world of color, emotion, and meaningful narratives. Join me on this journey of celebrating the beauty of life, spreading positivity, and igniting the spark within each of us to create a life we truly love.
Is there mission driving your creative journey?
My mission as an artist is to create art that can contribute to the quality of people’s lives.
With my abstract art, I strive to evoke emotions and spark imagination. By using vibrant colors, expressive brushstrokes, and layered textures, I invite viewers to interpret and connect with the artwork in their own unique way. The abstract nature of my art allows for a deeper exploration of the human experience, encouraging individuals to reflect on their own inner worlds and personal journeys.
The magic of fairy tales have always provided a source of wonder to me. Their beauty lies not only in their fantastical elements, but also in their ability to speak to us on a deeper level. My JUST B THAT series allows me to be immersed in this powerful source of imagination and to express themes and values that are important in our lives in a fun, colorful, and creative way.
CROWNS OF POWER symbolize the spark within each of us, the power we have to create the life we love. These crowns represent our inherent strength, resilience, and the ability to shape our own destinies.
My work is a reflection of my belief in the transformative power of art. It can connect us on a deeper level. I wish to touch hearts, ignite inspiration, and leave a lasting impression that resonates with each viewer in their own personal way.
We often hear about learning lessons – but just as important is unlearning lessons. Have you ever had to unlearn a lesson?
In my personal journey as an artist, I had to unlearn a crucial lesson that had held me back for far too long. I had allowed self-doubt to cloud my vision and hinder my ability to remain true to myself and my work.
It was a turning point when I realized that my work inspires others. I now understand the importance of nurturing my own strength and cultivating unwavering self-belief. It is through this mindset that I continue to create art that touches hearts of others.
