What Should an Artist Paint?

An artist’s purpose is to express their inner feelings—to capture what sparks their inspiration, not to rigidly follow the paths of past artists. Be bold. Be restless. Be yourself.

Chasing market trends can stifle creativity. If you only paint what sells, you risk becoming trapped in materialism rather than evolving into a great artist. True artistry comes from authenticity, not just commercial appeal.

艺术家的使命在于表达内心的感受，

捕捉激发灵感的火花，而非墨守成规地追随前辈艺术家的脚步。勇于创新，永不停歇，做真实的自己。

追逐市场潮流会扼杀创造力。如果你只画畅销的作品，就有可能陷入物质主义的泥潭，而无法成为伟大的艺术家。真正的艺术源于真实，而非仅仅追求商业利益。 Excerpted from an article written by Singaporean artist KS SOON 摘自新加坡艺术家KS SOON 孙 侨 成 的文章 90099005
