After researching and watching a few videos on TED.com I was able to find someone who has inspired me to do what I love. This man is Raghava KK and His speech is titled the five lives of an Artist.
http://www.ted.com/talks/raghava_kk_five_lives_of_an_artist.html
I consider myself to be an Artist. I follow and respect all genres of art whether it is painting, sculpting, fashion, photography, or films. This man Raghava has a great story to tell. He speaks of all his struggles as an artist and his successes as an artist. His story is very real to me. He speaks of his failures and he’s not ashamed to admit that he has had quite a few.
Raghava speaks in the beginning about being “born again”; a mentor of his told him this at a young age. He uses this mentality to his advantage. Every time life throws him and his career a curve ball that he is unable to hit, Raghava uses this down fall as a fresh start. He’s transitioned through his life from a child hood doodler to a well-respected painter. He’s moved from Idea to New York and back. He’s had a very up and down career, and this man is still very young.
Something that has stayed constant through out Raghava’s career was his relationship with the youth. He liked to visit schools and teach about the art. This is something that anyone could respect him for. Giving back to the community with out being asked is a very noble thing to do. This is the beginning for Raghava, and he is on his way to building a positive reputation and memorable legacy for himself.
Something Original that I love about his work is that it is larger then life. A canvas is to small to contain his creative ideas. He paints on Canvas the size of billboards. Another thing that I admire about his work is his lack of conservation. His work is very explicit and not necessarily appropriate for all audiences. Certain things that Happen in his life reflect through his paintings. For example, His Mother was diagnosed with a life threatening disease and She wasn’t expected to live much longer. This showed in Raghava’s work. His portraits of beauty and excitement turned to ugly and horror. This was the cause of one of his many downfalls. Because of his content, nobody wanted to buy his art. His Art is well known and well respected. His love for his art is what inspires me. I want to be at his level. I want my art to inspire others.
I hope that you enjoyed this post! Stop by soon for more Art and Media blog posts!
