“Leonardo da Vinci wrote in his Notebooks: “It should not be hard for you to stop sometimes and look into the stains of walls, or ashes of a fire, or clouds, or mud or like places in which … you may find really marvelous ideas.” ― C.G. Jung, Man and His Symbols
Inspiration is out there. I’m saying this in my best Pixar’s Up voice. We can approach life as artists even in the ordinary. Even more so, I think art lies in the present—those monotonous things we often let slide out of our awareness. Don’t get me wrong; I like a little excitement here and there to change things up, and I think going to new places is inspiring too. The point is that we don’t need to go far and wide to gain inspiration. We can use our own backyard to find the symbols of the universe that’s what I would call divine inspiration.
What has been your latest inspiration? My latest inspo has been the art books at my school and then Frankl’s Man’s Search for Meaning.
