[dropcap]Hello[/dropcap] and welcome to my art website. My name is Ngeun and I am a Lao Australian artist based in Sydney. I created this website to document and share my art journey and practice. At the same time, present my portfolio. By maintaining this website, I hope it will help motivate and inspire me to be more productive and create more artworks. Sounds like a win/win idea to me!
At the start of 2015, I decided to restart my art career and treat it seriously and professionally again, after a hiatus. I must admit, since that time it’s been a slow and inconsistent process to keep the ball rolling. It’s now July and I still haven’t got a finished artwork to show. Patience, my friends.
I did start a new Eggland Mandala painting in March though. And that, has been put aside to dry for the meantime but I look forward to returning to and completing it sometime soon. As well as start new ones.
I’ve been doing some research too. This includes reading and writing down ideas for new artworks (as notes on paper and on the phone). I’ve also been sketching new artwork ideas on paper. I’ll be sharing them with you in future posts. I believe that this research stage is a very important one because I think that good artworks need a strong/solid idea/foundation to start from, which can later be developed and refined. I believe that good artworks take time, but time can also be the enemy.
I’m trying to not dwell on my level of lull/unproductivity too much. Although, it does seem to be an ongoing theme. I like to see life as a spiritual journey, full of artwork ideas and experiences/opportunities. And I’m enjoying it. I’m open to learning and exploring what is presented to me, as it happens. Life is unpredictable and sometimes out of our control. Things happen for a reason and sometimes, it’s good to go with the flow.
