Where Do You Find Inspiration?

Paris - Vicki Archer

 

Yesterday I started thinking… trying to at any rate… the haze of changing time zones has yet to leave my body…

About inspiration and resonation.

 

Why certain elements appeal to us… Why they trigger and stimulate our creative souls.

For each person, the components are different… that’s why artists see their worlds differently and writers can conjure up phrases with such depth and cleverness.

I often ponder what pulls the triggers and ignites such brilliance in designers, in architects… in poets and musicians… in photographers.

I am constantly amazed at how we can view the world with the same eyes and yet our visions can be far apart.

Each and every creative has an altered viewpoint, a definite perception to stimulate their talent.

 

Beauty energises my creative side…  in the ordinary and in the extraordinary.

The simplest of elements in nature can have me running at a million miles an hour… as can a striking urban scene, an ingenious exhibition, the brilliance of a fashion show, the elegance of words or simply a click through an engaging website.

There are no limits to finding beauty… it is not only the physical manifestation of beauty but also the intangible that leaves a trace.

Understanding the connections between inspiration and creative output is a fascination… it is the way to enhance our originality.

 

Tell me, where do you find your inspiration? What resonates… gives you that added energy, that extra buzz to do what you do best? How do you find that edge when you need it? xv
