Authenticity in art - The CreativeMindClass Blog

Mar 16, 2022

Being connected to your inner self, the core of who one is.

Angela Maria Sierra, a Spanish-born artist, shows her real self and the emotions she's feeling. This is apparent in her images of characters with emotional depth which are filled with love as well as comfort and pleasure.

Her name is more well-known in the world of art as Riso Chan, a photographer and artist who is currently a teacher in The Netherlands. The artist is scheduled beginning her journey of art by creating videos as well as her own creative YouTube channel! The idea was one she's wanted to do for quite a lengthy period of. For sheer courage, despite the discomfort of talking in front of cameras, she recorded an enjoyable video on herself as well as her work and the creative living environment she has.                Artist Vlog - Riso Chan

Riso Chan talks about acceptance of her true self through artwork:

My work is very emotionally charged. I make portraits of myself depicting the feelings me feel. I was always a very sensitive and sensitive person. While I was a kid, there was something that caused me to feel uncomfortable and I attempted to ignore the issue. (...) When you get old enough and realize there is no one else like you and that everybody experiences things differently. I chose to take advantage of the emotions I bring to my everyday day life to begin painting. Drawing on it helps inspire my imagination and spark fresh ideas. That is amazing because the thing I had been trying to push down for all of my life only to suddenly I put it down on sheet of paper and it felt like a great release. There is finally an area that I can utilize this feeling and utilize these feelings, hurts, and joys and write them down. It felt really awesome that it connected me to my home where I was content. The experience began to resonate with lots of others. It was then that I started to consider putting ideas on paper that I never thought of previously. Instead of trying to look similar to previous artists who "made it" I listened to the ideas I was trying to say and to what I wanted to portray as a person. I accepted something I did not love about myself and realized that it was in fact my strongest strengths. I'm very happy to be the most sensitive me.
