The short story "You're in Florence"

The short story "You're in Florence."

Author: Olga Sorokina

You are in Florence. Or better - in Firenze... How delicious it sounds in Italian! 

You live with two friends two minutes walk to the Duomo in a 13th century stone house. This flat is rented to you by a classy Italian woman of about 45, she smells strongly of expensive perfume and you really like her large earrings. In a white trouser suit and heels, she shows you around this chic apartment and casually mentions:

- You even have your own access to the roof. Behind this door, up the stairs to the top.

The flat still has historic wooden beams in the great hall with three huge windows and even two stone fountains with lion masks built right into the wall. The view from your bedroom is like a postcard: hundreds of terracotta roofs of the hot daytime city, pigeons cooing just outside the window, and you already imagine waking up early tomorrow, sitting in a silk shirt by the window, putting your elbows on the sill and watching the city wake up, listening to its sounds, soaking in the colours.

It's a very hot summer this year, +40 C, you and your friends even seriously considered switching to living at night and sleeping during the day. Climbing Giotto Tower this morning up the narrow endless stairs was a challenge for everyone (you were really worried about the old lady who bought tickets after you) but the view from the top was worth it. There's a reason they call Florence "the stone bag." It's also hot.

My friends say:

- We're going to go buy bread, wine and slices.

You close the door behind them and run to that door.

Climb a few steps up a very narrow and short stone spiral staircase, open the heavy old door, hear the sounds of dozens of wings of disturbed pigeons and say on an exhale:

- Wow!

In front of you is a mosaic of the city in all shades of terracotta and ochre. You suddenly understood why these colours have Italian names: siena, umber... And the main thing is the dream view of the Palazzo Vecchio. You drew it in the second year of the academy in perspective classes, and now you see this tower, these proportions with your own eyes. It's like you're in your old art history book. It's breathtaking.

Your feet are already touching the warm and rough tiles and your mind is flashing :

- I hope it's not as old as this house, just as long as it doesn't go!

You tread carefully on it. You sit down, enchanted by this moment and stare at the city for a long, long time. You want to paint, but you don't want to go anywhere, not even for a moment to lose this view. You're alone with the city. It's as if you were in a Vrubel painting now.

It's evening, the heat of the day is gone. You think of the Renaissance, of all those old masters who lived here. They were young, they loved and they created. History was being made in this city in the 15th century: the kind of culture and painting that would influence art for centuries to come. And you are here now. 

Painting like the old masters... friends barely got you out of the Uffizi Gallery yesterday. The bells of the Palazzo Vecchio are ringing, the long diagonal feather-like clouds are coloured apricot pink. 

You squeeze your eyes shut:

- It feels so good!

You suddenly realise that Florence is your favourite city in Italy. You hear the front door open, the voices of friends and the rustle of packages and, anticipating the taste of ciabatta with salt and olive oil, you run downstairs.

From my Italian memories.

How Does an Artist Get Out of a Creative Crisis?

In this blog post, I'm going to touch on a topic that happens one day in every artist's life. I will share with you my story of creative crisis, I will tell you about useful resources that helped me, and hopefully will help you too.

---

THE ARTIST AND THE CREATIVE CRISIS

I don't know any artist who hasn't had a creative crisis. Moreover, in the artistic community, a creative crisis is considered almost a "good tone". I have a lot of people I know from the creative environment (as you probably already know from previous posts on this blog, I have an artist's school "Alexandrino", Art Lyceum 190 on Fontanka, Stieglitz St. Petersburg State Art Academy), I can say that all my adult life I am surrounded mostly by creative people.

The concepts of "artist" and "creative depression" are inseparable, inspiration and creative crisis are actually two sides of the same coin. A crisis in creativity is normal, honestly, if you are an artist and such periods have never happened to you, it's even kind of suspicious. So if you think that you are the only one so special, that you are the only one with "existential problems", that you are feeling lonely, don't want to face life and have no one to share it with, know that you are not alone.

“In the artistic community, a creative crisis is considered to be almost a “good tone”. The concepts of “artist” and “creative depression” are essentially two sides of the same coin.”

People just don't like to share such information about themselves, especially with those who may not understand it, because telling someone about your innermost feelings makes you vulnerable, and if you get in response: "Don't talk nonsense, you are doing fine, someone else has no arms and legs, but they live and are happy, and you just whine! What do you lack, what more do you need? You have everything! Just live!" Sound familiar?

Such a reaction from close people can lead to a persistent feeling of loneliness, even if it seems to others from the outside that you have all is well, even perfect, but in the heart is actually darkness and the wind howls. Sometimes, this leads to thoughts like "something is definitely wrong with me," and the feeling of alienation, isolation only becomes stronger and drives you into more depression.

A creative crisis is a professional illness for artists like allergies, deteriorating eyesight and rheumatism for doctors or sinusitis, frequent colds and bronchitis for school teachers.

We all have ups and downs, moments of great inspiration and pits of decline, life is a sinusoid, it is important to be prepared for crises and know how to get out of them as quickly and painlessly as possible and initially try to avoid them by monitoring your well-being. To know what helps you, to have this "light at the end of the tunnel" and a "plan of action" to get out of depression.

MY STORY

I have had several creative crises, of varying degrees of difficulty. I will share one of the stories that happened to me almost immediately after graduating from Stieglitz St. Petersburg State Art Academy, when I got a new job as an interior designer in a prestigious architectural firm.

It was a big company where we worked on national projects like hotels for the Sochi Olympics, projects for high-end restaurants and residentials; yes, there was a big salary, a professional team, reliability and all that, but every morning I woke up and just didn't want to get out of bed. I didn't understand myself and blamed myself with the words, "Olga, what's going on? You're in a dream job! Everyone only wishes they had such a position! You yourself always wanted to do big architecture and interiors projects. Here it is! What's wrong?!"

Having said that, the staff was really good: they were professionals in the field of architecture and design, you could learn a lot from them, everyone was friendly to me and always ready to help. My boss was Austrian (which was also very important to me when I applied for this job as I thought I will gain international experience), a wonderful and talented person, he always admired my sketches and design ideas, it was inspiring, but it was a pity that he was constantly on the road and business trips, we saw him very rarely.

“I blamed myself: “Olga, what’s even going on? You’re in a dream job! You yourself have always wanted to do big architecture and interior design projects. This is it! What’s the matter?!””

The signs of the creative depression and burnout were obvious: I didn't want to get out of bed on both workdays and weekends, I cried almost every day, I didn't want to socialize with anyone or leave the house at all; in terms of diet: I either didn't want to eat at all, or I started eating all sorts of junk food and candy without stopping. At work I sometimes went to the lavatory to cry, especially before the deadlines. Inspiration and desire to create something, to produce ideas was out of the question. Some colds and weakness started, psychosomatics came into play: the body was clearly signaling that it was time to change it all. There were almost all the symptoms of depression that had already started.

When I was studying at Stieglitz Academy, I dreamed of working on large-scale interior projects like museums, exhibition spaces, conceptual high-end restaurants; in general, I had very ambitious plans and goals. In fact, working for this company was really the perfect stepping stone in my career. I saw this brilliant, dizzying future as a world-famous designer, and the fact that I couldn't even get past the first step knocked me off my game.

At that moment, I saw myself as weak and I judged myself for it, while my body, the very reaction of my physique clearly made me realize that such a job for a large company, with an open-space office, a rigid schedule and constant deadlines, a large amount of work in 3D and CAD, regular business trips to another cities, was definitely not for me. Plus, I'm a very responsible person by nature, I've had this "Straight A student syndrome" since high school, I can be very worried about projects, in general, I felt that I just didn't have enough physical resources to bear the load, I was especially stressed before deadlines, although as always my boss was happy with my work.

“I thought then that freelancing was a solution to problems. As it turned out, no, it’s just that in freelance work you have 10 bosses instead of one.”

There were some pros: at this job, I learned exactly what is NOT for me and what is NOT for me: working for large companies, where you feel like a cog in a huge system, open-spaces, rigid schedules, fixed vacations, the need to fill out official paperwork, even if you just need to go to the dentist.

I realized that I needed either a private office or working from home, flexible schedule, no boss or any supervisor. That's when I thought freelancing was the solution to my problems. As it turned out later, no, it's just that in freelancing you have 10 bosses instead of one :)

HOW TO GET OUT OF A CREATIVE CRISIS

It is interesting that creative crisis is overcome by creativity itself. It is important to start devoting time to it and in no way judge your drawings, creations, but just create them, and consciously dedicate time to creativity.

I know, easier said than done, but the thing is, the incredible magic lies in momentum, in impulse. Depression is static and stagnant, and what you need is movement, life, energy, rotation. When you take time every day to do something (even if it's 5-10 minutes), but it's day in and day out, regularly you "chisel at the same point" - soon you'll notice that a miracle happens - your brain starts "asking" for that activity. A driving force appears, inertia, this moment in physics has incredible power, and this is exactly what can get you out of any depression, this is your leverage. The hardest thing is to start doing it every day (drawing for example), to build this habit, but when the habit is already established, it starts working for you. It's like at university: first you work for your credit, then it works for you.

The effect of the momentum is especially noticeable if it is reinforced by the community: here the inertia grows exponentially. You are no longer just one to one with your problem, but the power of other people is working for you, together you are like a surfer on a wave, you can ride it and escape from any storm. That is why it is so useful to join various marathons, challenges, and courses with a community.

A great idea would be to switch to a new type of creativity: for example, you are drawing, but here try yourself in dance, music or acting.

“If you have been drawing for a long time, try your hand at dance, music or acting, this is also creativity but a different expression of it.”

Even the weather plays a big role in aggravating the depressive state, in February/March it seems that winter will never end, you have not seen the sun for weeks, the sky seems to be constantly overhanging low gray clouds - naturally the psyche begins to panic and the brain thinks "When is it going to end?! What if it never ends and it will always be like this?". This worsens the state of depression even more. That's why there is a concept of "spring flare-up", after winter, when all resources are depleted - the body is on the verge and it needs a break and recharge as never before.

A good idea would be a trip or a short trip to another city in this period from February to May, just any change of environment, change of the "picture" that you see every day. You need some kind of shake-up, better yet a retreat, for example a yoga retreat.

I must say that nature walks, dance classes, yoga and meditation have helped me a lot to get out of a prolonged creative crisis.

Check out my "Yoga for Artists" video on my YouTube and do this beautiful ancient practice online with me on the ocean or in the park.

“Artists come out of the creative crisis through creativity, through new ideas and dreams, new information and perspectives, a fresh perspective and a different way of looking at what is going on.”

RESOURCES

The idea and attitude of "Give your body lots of love and attention" will make a big difference. Try to focus on your body, it's not by chance that it suffers and gets sick (colds and so on, by the way, it is believed that depression is a "disease of the soul"), so give your soul and body attention and lots and lots of love. Maybe you are currently doing in life not what your soul came here for.

Remember what you loved to do when you were a child? Reading, drawing, carving, building LEGOs, making architecture out of chairs and tables (I loved doing that). It will all heal your soul if you start doing it again (even if it feels silly and childish). Right now, sit down, take 10 minutes, set a timer and brainstorm and write down everything that comes to mind. What activities made you happy as a child?

What else can you do for your mind and body?

• Enroll in a massage class

• Go to yoga/pilates/qigong classes (you can start with free YouTube videos if the idea of socializing with other people depresses you even more)

• Pack up and go on a yoga retreat

• Start/continue dancing (it's important to find what you like: salsa, burlesque, tango, contemporary, ballet, jazz, etc.). I personally get maximum positive emotions from ballet and burlesque.

• Walking in nature, breathing fresh air, observing trees, the first leaves, an ant on a tree - all this is incredibly therapeutic!

• Meditate (there are simply hundreds of thousands of videos on YouTube on this topic, try with gratitude meditations, creativity meditation, vipasana or yoga nidra). A few of my favorite meditations: here.

• Socialize more with animals (maybe you've been wanting a dog or cat for a long time?).

• Reading inspirational books and watching movies (see a list of my favorites below)

MOVIES AND BOOKS ABOUT ARTISTS

For inspiration, I list here some movies and books that have helped me and they can improve your condition today.

Movies

• "Frida". 2002

• "Modigliani," 2004.

• "Van Gogh: A Portrait Painted with Words," 2010.

• "Renoir. Last Love," 2012

• "Big Eyes," 2014.

There are so many movies about artists, I've listed 5 of my favorites, all of which deeply explore the theme of the artist's depression.

Books

(With direct Amazon links, just click on the name)

• "The Artist's Way", Julia Cameron

• "The Agony and the Ecstasy", Irving Stone (a novel about Michelangelo)

• "Lust for Life," Irving Stone (a novel about Vincent van Gogh)

• "The Moon and Sixpence", Somerset Maugham

• "Drawing on the Artist Within: How to Release Your Hidden Creativity", Betty Edwards

I noticed that stories about great artists, how they came out of difficult crises helped me a lot, I'm sure it will help you too.

It would be interesting to know if you have already read any of these books, seen these movies, please share in the comments.

AND LASTLY...

There are people who have so many opportunities, abilities, and talents, but they don't do ANYTHING with those gifts.

And they suffer for it. Of course they do. It's not like they're doing what they're meant to do in life. They're not realizing themselves, they're not unlocking opportunities, they're not growing. Or don't want to? Consciously or unconsciously.

Remember Ellie from "The Wizard of OZ" (one of my favorite fairy tales as a child), every time she turned off the yellow brick road, trouble and problems started: a poppy field, or trees throwing apples at her. all because she turned off HER WAY.

It definitely works on me: every time I drifted away from drawing, from creativity, life hurt with depression.

Understanding Positive and Negative Space: Elevate Your Interior Design Drawings

In the dynamic world of interior design, the principles of positive and negative space are akin to the artist's brushstrokes on a canvas, shaping the aesthetic and functional essence of a space. As we delve into the realm of interior design drawing, these fundamental concepts take center stage, serving as the blueprint for creating spaces that are not only visually stunning but also harmoniously functional. Let’s dive deeper in this article.

Positive Space: Where Design Comes to Life

In the realm of interior design drawing, positive space constitutes the tangible elements that define and fill a room. Imagine the furniture, fixtures, and decor items—the elements that breathe life into the design. When sketching an interior space, positive space is the canvas upon which the designer articulates their vision, carefully placing each item to create a cohesive and purposeful environment.

Negative Space: The Unspoken Elegance

As the unsung hero of interior design, negative space plays a pivotal role in enhancing the overall aesthetic. It's the open floor space, the unoccupied walls, and the areas around and between furniture. In the realm of drawing, it's the blank canvas that allows for the articulation of design, contributing to the sense of openness, flow, and balance within a room.

Strategic Applications in Interior Design Drawing:

1. Furniture Choreography:

   - The arrangement of furniture is a dance between positive and negative space. In your drawings, consider how each piece contributes to both functionality and visual appeal, creating a symphony of form and function.

2. Navigating Traffic:

   - Intelligently managing negative space ensures smooth traffic flow within a room. It's about creating paths that are free from obstruction, fostering a sense of ease and practicality in the design.

3. Harmonious Balance:

   - Achieving the perfect equilibrium between positive and negative space is the key to a visually stunning interior. Striking this balance prevents a space from feeling cluttered or sparse, fostering a sense of visual delight.

4. Artistic Framing:

   - Negative space acts as a framing device, directing attention to architectural features, artwork, or designated focal points. It's the whitespace that enhances the significance of design elements within your interior composition.

5. Visual Comfort:

   - A well-considered distribution of negative space contributes to visual comfort. It ensures that a space is inviting, providing individuals with the freedom to relax and engage with the environment.

6. Spatial Symphony:

   - Mastering the interplay between positive and negative space is the art of spatial planning. It involves not just meeting functional requirements but doing so in a way that captivates the eye and evokes a sense of balance.

In the realm of interior design drawing, understanding the dance between positive and negative space is the hallmark of a skilled designer. Just as a maestro conducts an orchestra, an adept designer orchestrates a symphony of elements on paper, setting the stage for a beautifully realised interior. As you embark on your design journey, let positive and negative space be your guiding notes, creating spaces that are as functional as they are visually captivating.

(Quick note) Elevate Your Gallery Experience:

As you embark on your design journey, consider applying the principles of positive and negative space to your appreciation of art. The next time you visit an art gallery, focus on the negative space in the paintings. Notice how the deliberate use of empty space enhances the impact of the artwork, guiding your gaze and influencing your emotional response. You'll find that this heightened awareness transforms your gallery experience, allowing you to see and appreciate art in a new and enriching light.

Happy sketching!

"Your Dream House Project": Guided Meditation for Architects & Interior Designers

In this guided meditation for architects and designers, I invite you to close your eyes, relax, and explore the depths of your imagination as I lead you through a transformation. It is not your regular meditation, it is rather an experience, a creative visualization, which you can do not only sitting or lying down, but even while walking somewhere in nature.

---

What this meditation is about?

Join me as I transport you to a world where your architectural visions come to life. Imagine yourself driving to meet a photographer at your recently completed project, a house that embodies your deepest creativity and expertise. With the tenants away for a long weekend, the space is yours to explore, appreciate, and bask in the glow of accomplishment.

As you walk through the rooms, you'll touch the textures, feel the materials, and envision every meticulously designed detail that makes this project exceptional. With each step, you'll rediscover the passion that led you to this point in your architectural journey.

But it's not just about the physical space. Along the way, you'll also reconnect with your inner child, that part of you that loved to create, to build, and to dream. Feel gratitude for the path that has brought you here, honoring the mentors, teachers, and all those who have influenced your growth.

As you embrace the journey that led you to this remarkable project, you'll also reflect on the serendipitous moments and coincidences that shaped your path. Acknowledge the interconnectedness of life's twists and turns, and how they have contributed to your success.

So, whether you're an architect, a designer, or simply someone seeking inspiration, this meditation is an opportunity to immerse yourself in the power of your own creativity, to express gratitude for your journey, and to connect with the joy that comes from bringing dreams to life.

8 ideas to sketch more often and make your 2023 even more creative

Happy New Year, my dear Creatives!

I know a lot of you wrote your goals and aspirations for the New Year.

But have you set your goals in Sketching?

As for me, I plan to upgrade my skills in watercolour portraits and oil painting.

Here are a couple of sketch ideas to enrich your (and mine!) 2023:

1. Get yourself a new tiny sketchbook (appx the size of your hand) and make a new habit to take it wherever you go (with a pencil of cause!). You never know when inspiration will find you

2. Take your sketchbook and draw from a cafe

3. Draw from a new place for you and optionally experiment with your technique (for me it was drawing from a beach today)

4. Join any free sketching challenge or set it up yourself (Wanna try "sketch a day" for 30 days?) Here for instance you can draw your life for 5 min a day: be that a cup of tea, a car, your hand, or anything that surrounds you

5. Read a book on sketching/drawing (here is my blog article on top 5 books on perspective drawing)

6. Go to a class on drawing from a live model

7. Go en pleinair

8. Take a course on sketching

I talk more about introducing more creativity and sketching into your daily life in my latest Instagram live stream: link

P.S. If you enjoyed this article, please share it, that would mean the world to me.

Creativity process: how I painted an art wall in my house (time-lapsed video)

"The wall was like a huge white canvas so I painted on it; here is the process".

Olga Sorokina

You told me you love to see my process of drawing, so here is how I painted an art wall in my house.

...Magic and wonder of New Zealand bush, the flight of a tui bird, disk of the sun — I brought all of these to live in my home.

This wall painting was a project for the birth of my baby; I aimed to create something unique.

I decided to dedicate 10-15 min a day every morning. Before everything else took off, I was in pure bliss, creativity, special moments. Felt so happy while drawing this art piece.

I didn’t know how to finish it for a week and went for a yoga retreat in Coromandel, New Zealand.

After spending 3 days in nature, filling my eyes with one of the most stunning landscape views on our planet, practicing hours of yoga and meditations, waking up before dawn, sitting next to a fireplace at 6 am while sipping my ginger-lemon-mint tea, while waiting for my morning yoga class to start.

Hiking in the bush accompanied by birds, kereru clunky flight, and pheasants in the background. Making new connections, having great deep conversations — all of it reset have my system. 

When I was back home, I knew how to finish the wall.

Each time I look at the painting — it gives me energy; it grounds me, not to say that it creates a focal point in my living room in terms of interior design.

Artist: Olga Sorokina 

Media: acryl paint

Date of completion: October 2020
