David Pitter
My name is David.
I am from Hemel Hempstead and I was born in Jamaica.
I have studied Art at De Montfort University in Leicester, England.
My dream is to be a great Artist.
I like to try new stuff, new ideas, new approaches, new materials.
I need to work on improving my weaknesses and develop my skills, improve my technical and theoretical knowledge in my art practice so that it becomes my strength.
I feel that it is good to be able to praise one's own work because it can improve one's confidence.
It is also important to record those times when one is not at one's full capacity.
I think that it is important to be able to reflect on one's journey in life as well as in art so that one can try to evaluate where one was, and where one is currently.
I always try my best even though things don't always work out as planned.
I feel, as an Artist, that one can never have enough stuff/ material/ subject matter to create and it is important to try to remain active in one's art practice even at the times when one is not wanting to.
For me it is important to love the work that I am doing and have the hope that my audience will also love the work.
I find it good to challenge myself, when I think that the challenge will help me to grow as a person.
It is important to try to respect other people's responses and opinions even if one doesn't agree with them, as another person’s thoughts and ideas can give one a different and contrasting view and perspective.
I am really passionate when it comes to creating prints and painting.
I love to work in new techniques and to push myself to progress outside/beyond my comfort zone.
One can be engaged in something as an artist that one may not understand as one is working in the present that nevertheless has the capacity to change one's future so one just has to persist in trying to follow one's intuition working how one wants to be the best of one's capability.
My creativity in my art practice has brought me joy through both good and bad times and helped me to see a purpose in my life/journey over the years.
Other people's work has inspired me but I think that I need to have my own artistic identity, my own style and personal touch.
I need to be myself in this process.
Art helps me to find myself as an individual.
Creating art helps me to be in a good zone, especially when I am mentally unwell.
I am inspired by nature, the work of other artists, my environment and the people whom I choose to surround myself with.
To be able to find something that one can love and be passionate about is a blessing.
It is good to try to be oneself even if sometimes things don't work out, one can only try to do one's best.
Nothing will be easy.
One's mental and emotional experience in life can be good and bad, up or down.
I guess that one must learn to love / accept the whole of one's experience of life.
