Hi. I'm Bianca Vinther, creator of The Pointless Artist. This is an art talk I had with Lucianna Whittle on Wednesday, 9 February 2022. Lucianna is a process-driven artist based in the charming and culturally vibrant city of Brighton, on the south coast of England. Apart from being a super mum of two and of swimming in the sea all year long, Lucianna dedicates a lot of her time and energy to creating gorgeous abstract paintings.
We discussed her artistic journey, how she sees reality and herself as an artist, and what seeing actually means for her. We also talked about her relationship to music and her approach to painting, as well as about her creative process, sources of inspiration, and understanding of artist block. She addressed the power of transformation, awareness, and consciousness, and revealed to me the ultimate purpose of her life.
We touched upon the practice of observational drawing and the discipline of being an artist – attention, stillness, focus among other things. In my final question, I inquired about what is most important to Lucianna as an artist and a human being. She spoke convincingly about the connection to one’s true self and the significance of deep listening.
We experienced a deep connection through a common understanding of life and the art-making process. We share the same compassionate approach to seeing, listening, and creating, as well as a passion for music. And we are equally convinced that seeing from within is the only sustainable and transformative way to experience life and get to the essence of who we truly are.
Via The Pointless Artist Blog, I support the creative energy of life and the artists who contribute to transforming this world into a freer, kinder, more inclusive, caring, transparent, and compassionate place to live. I firmly believe in the passion for art, the importance of sharing knowledge and experiences, and the power of personal stories to bring us together.
