🎨 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.

Only Reading Books Creates Successful Minds

  Introduction – My Story When I was in Class 4 or 5, I developed a simple habit—reading books. Not to score marks, not for exams, but out of pure curiosity. At home, I often watched my parents teaching junior students with patience and passion. Their dedication inspired me deeply. By the time I was in Class 6, I started teaching myself. My parents appreciated my teaching style, and that moment changed everything. I realised something powerful at a very young age: Reading builds understanding. Teaching deepens it. This simple habit shaped my identity. It helped me become a confident teacher, a motivational speaker for students of Classes 10 and 11, and a mentor whose students—from Class 1 to Class 10—scored up to 95%. My foundation was never rote memorisation; it was reading with purpose . The Changing Attitude Towards Reading Today, the culture of reading has weakened drastically. Many students depend entirely on: guidebooks summaries ready-made answers social medi...

Deuteronomy 22:9–11: God’s Command and the Science Behind It

  The book of Deuteronomy contains many practical commandments given to the people of Israel—not just to guide their spiritual life, but also to protect their health, agriculture, community, and long-term well-being. Deuteronomy 22:9–11 presents three unique instructions: Verse 9: “Do not plant two kinds of seed in your vineyard.” Verse 10: “Do not plow with an ox and a donkey yoked together.” Verse 11: “Do not wear clothes of wool and linen woven together.” To a modern reader, these laws may seem unusual. But when we look deeper, we discover that God’s instructions were scientifically sound, environmentally wise, and socially protective —given thousands of years before science explained the reasons. Let’s break down each command. 1. “Do Not Plant Two Kinds of Seed in Your Vineyard” (Deuteronomy 22:9) Biblical Purpose God wanted Israel to practice purity , order , and discipline in their work. Mixed seeds produced confusion, disorder, and poor harvests. God’s command p...

Redefining Beauty: Beyond Appearances

  Introduction In today’s fast-moving world, the word beauty has lost its depth. What was once a concept connected to values, emotions, and inner goodness is now mostly judged by outward appearance. As I observe the present generation, I realise that beauty is often misunderstood, redefined, and sometimes even misused. Through reflection and through the poem “Beauty” , it becomes clear that beauty carries a far deeper meaning—one that needs to be rediscovered and understood, especially by young minds. 1. Today’s Generation and the Changing Meaning of Beauty Today’s generation is growing up in an age of screens, comparisons, and instant validation. Beauty is often associated with physical features, fashion trends, and social approval. Likes and comments have replaced values and character. This narrow definition makes people forget that beauty is not something one shows , but something one lives . The poem gently reminds us that beauty is not limited to faces or appearan...
