Today’s Artist of the Day features an interview with Monique Williams. Please find our conversation below.
Let’s jump right into your art and creative works. What should folks know?
I am a creative painter who is deeply passionate about self-expression through art. Through my unique artistic vision, I strive to create visually captivating artworks that evoke emotions and tell stories. I find inspiration in various themes and concepts, and I enjoy experimenting with different techniques and mediums to bring my ideas to life on the canvas. My artistic influences range from classical masters to contemporary artists, and I continuously seek to expand my artistic horizons. Painting is not just a hobby or profession for me; it is a way of life that allows me to explore my creativity and connect with others through the power of art.
Has your art / artistic practice changed you? How?
My artistic practice has changed me because it allows me to express myself through thoughts, emotions, and experiences in a unique and personal way. Art is a powerful channel for releasing and processing my emotions. I can channel my feelings. It provides a therapeutic experience. Creating art can be meditative and provides a calming experience. It provides the opportunity to focus on the present moment, cultivate mindfulness, and reduce stress.
