🎨 How I Create Art in My Own Style

 


By CRA | craarts.blogspot.com

“Every artist dips their brush in their own soul, and paints their own nature into their pictures.” – Henry Ward Beecher

Art is not just what I do—it’s who I am.

Each stroke, each shade, and each element in my paintings is a reflection of how I see the world—not as it is, but as it feels. Over time, I’ve learned that true artistic growth isn’t about mastering techniques alone. It’s about discovering your voice. And my voice lives in the way I tell visual stories—honest, thoughtful, and deeply personal.


🖌️ My Artistic Language: The Style I Call My Own

My art style isn’t bound to one label—it's a fusion of realism, symbolism, and storytelling. I seek balance between accuracy and emotional depth.

  • Realism gives structure—whether it’s a wrinkle on a wise face or the shadow beneath an elephant’s foot.

  • Symbolism adds soul—like a green leaf on a pathway that represents hope, or a sunrise that whispers of second chances.

  • Composition builds conversation—inviting viewers to look closer and feel something they didn’t expect.


🎯 Inspirations Behind My Art

  • Nature – Soil, leaves, animals, sky. Earth teaches us simplicity and depth.

  • Human emotion – A smile, a stare, or a single tear—every face carries a universe.

  • Spirituality – My painting Smiling Jesus Christ wasn’t just about likeness—it was about peace.

  • Wisdom in the unseen – Like the invisible guidance in my artwork of a rider steering an elephant—a metaphor for life’s inner compass.


🧩 How I Build a Painting – My Creative Process

  1. The Spark: It all begins with a vision or a feeling. Sometimes it’s a dream, sometimes a memory, and often… a question I want to explore.

  2. Sketch & Soul-Search: I sketch loosely first, but I also listen. What is this piece trying to tell me?

  3. Layer by Layer: I work in layers—adding depth, emotion, texture. I take my time; I believe good art is never rushed.

  4. Details Matter: I give attention to the smallest elements—a crack in a wall, a fold in a cloth, the glint in an eye.

  5. The Signature Moment: I always end my artwork with a moment of silence—observing the finished piece in stillness before signing CRA. This is my way of honoring the journey.


🌟 Why My Style Matters to Me

My style is my fingerprint. It’s how I connect with people who may never meet me, but will meet my art. Through every brushstroke, I invite viewers into a shared space of reflection and emotion.

Art becomes meaningful not when it looks perfect, but when it feels true.


💬 Final Thought

Your style is already within you. It’s in the way you see the world, how you process emotion, and what you choose to say through your canvas. Don’t copy the world. Instead, reflect it—through your own light.

Because in the end, art is not about creating like others... it’s about creating like you.

Can We Really Take Time as a Loan? A Journey Through Physics and Life

    Can We Really Take Time as a Loan? A Journey Through Physics and Life   By Andrews Elsan When my Physics teacher told me that "we can take time as a loan," it instantly caught my attention. At first, it sounded impossible — how can anyone borrow something as abstract and unstoppable as time? But when I thought about it deeply, I realized that this phrase carries both scientific and life-related meanings that fundamentally change how we understand our relationship with time itself. The concept initially seemed paradoxical. Time, after all, is the one constant in our lives that moves forward relentlessly, indifferent to our wishes or needs. We cannot pause it, rewind it, or save it for later use. Yet, as I delved deeper into both the scientific principles and practical applications of this metaphor, I discovered layers of meaning that transformed my understanding of time management, physics, and life philosophy. Time as a Loan in Daily Life In our everyday routines,...

The Great Career Exodus: Why Modern Workers Are Abandoning Everything to Become Monks, Entrepreneurs, and Serial Job-Hoppers

In an unprecedented wave of career abandonment, millions of people worldwide are walking away from stable jobs to pursue radically different paths. Some are trading corner offices for monastery cells, others are leaving corporate careers to become farmers, artists, or digital nomads. This phenomenon, often called "The Great Resignation" or "The Great Reshuffle," represents more than just job dissatisfaction—it's a neurochemical rebellion against the modern work paradigm. But what's really happening in our brains when we feel the urge to completely reinvent our professional lives? The answer lies in understanding how our neurochemistry responds to different types of work, meaning, and lifestyle choices. The Neurochemical Foundation of Job Satisfaction To understand why people are making such dramatic career shifts, we need to explore the brain's reward system and how different activities trigger the release of key neurotransmitters: dopamine, serotonin...

Walking Fish: Nature's Most Remarkable Land-Water Athletes

  Imagine witnessing a fish climb out of the water, walk across land, and even scale a tree. It sounds like something from a fantasy novel, but walking fish are very real and represent some of the most fascinating evolutionary adaptations on Earth. These remarkable creatures challenge our basic understanding of what fish can do, proving that nature's ingenuity knows no bounds. Walking fish are living examples of evolution in action, showcasing how life finds ways to exploit new environments and survive in challenging conditions. From mudflats to mangrove swamps, these amphibious marvels have conquered territories that most fish could never dream of exploring. The Champions of Land Walking: Mudskippers The mudskippers are probably the best land-adapted of contemporary fish and are able to spend days moving about out of water and can even climb mangroves, although to only modest heights. These extraordinary creatures represent the pinnacle of fish terrestrial adaptation and truly...
