INSPIRATION
I can see what is around me. Touch things close to me. Smell scents. Hear every sound. Taste what gives me pleasure. I study and classify what my senses trigger through colors and shapes. I have been doing that my wholelife. We all have. We are collectors of sensory impulses and we give them meaning.
I don't use all senses when I paint. But I have a memory that can bring me back anywhere, anytime and allow me to relive certain moments. I relive them through whatever sense was dominant at the time. It is usually the smell or the sense of hearing that brings me right back. I am especially sensitive to both of these senses. It is not particularly easy to describe some scents or sounds with words or images. But they do cause images in my mind and work as powerful emotional triggers. If the sound is appealing, I can feel the rush of blood through my veins, chills on my skin and the urge to move. If it is unpleasant, it can cause me headaches or even anxiety. Senses are powerful.
