Creativity In A Comfort Way

One definition coming close to creativity itself would be - creativity is "me outside of me" (can't resist to notice Verne Troyer's Mini Me ...). We used to call creativity that tip of an iceberg exposed in galleries, museums, private collections, design centers, but all of that is far from being truth.

Whether someone wants or doesn't, he is creative day and night, knowingly or unknowingly, artist or farmer. Because breathing in and out, spending word here and there, anything that person does - all that matters and creates our life. And is there any higher creation then making up someones life?

Coming back to today's very narrow perception of creativity that is usually concentrated around arts this is what interest me - why tangible results of all that artistic endeavour resemble each other so much?

Within each era you can just simply change a few details, colors and voila, you have so called "a brand new piece or design". Just take a look on cars, on houses, or even interior design, jewelry, ... The very same lines, a few standard samples, same imagination, just shifting and moving the peaces of puzzle around canvas and putting them together.

The last resort today to buy something "original", creative and chic usually rests in looking for something of designers brand name, style of his production house, collections. Someones name, or better his/her life or lifestyle is a merit to what to buy or not, to reproduce own style and artwork. There are, of course, business aspects to be considered as well, because various industries tend to immediately copy the best ideas that appear on the market and so contribute to the uniformity of design.

There are some ways to overcome that "paste and copy style" and walking the path you will find suggestions like - try various techniques, practise art, study masters, follow tradition, try alcohol or marijuana, tantra or yoga ... I like something else, something that was given as everything else and does the job for me by itself, as I have comfortable nature. - I know that Plantstones are not for everyone, as many prefer to have that feeling that only hard work makes you reach something, or that only teacher can show you the path.

Whatever you choose, your life is the only measure for your creativity and creativity is what enlivens your life.
