Comment on Oxidised - oil on canvas by SamanthaLi

Thanks so much!! Just a year ago I planned to study graphic design because I thought I would not do well in fine art and won't be able to find a job. But then after going out there interacting with more artists and just going for it without thinking too much, I realized there is so much more. I randomly walked into an old studio one day and met an artist there. He was a retired art professor who told me (in Chinese) there is a difference between an art "worker" and an "artist" (in Chinese, it has the word "family" "jia"). And that a true artist is someone who creates and starts a family (who are the workers because they recreate). And that is rare. I'm not sure if it makes sense in English but that inspired me to want to follow my passion and push the limits. Follow your passion and you'll never know what great things are waiting to be achieved!
