What kind of art to make?

I bet a lot of arists, just like me, wondered about this question. for a long period of our lives we were told by our parents and other people around us, that art is nothing serious and that we won't be able to make a living out of it, so it should remain as a hobby at max.

But the burning desire to create and to make something out of it didn't go away. The moment we decide to do something about it and try our art in the real world, is the moment that we have to make big decisions as to what art we should make, and which art would sell.

There is no one right answer to it, but I think that the important thing is to make art that you love and that gives you joy, if your'e not sure, then just keep on trying different things, mediums, tools and styles.

Me for example, I've been doing art for more than 15 years, and I'm still not sure which aspect of art to focus on. every day I get plenty of different ideas for things I could make; colored pencils, acrylics, pens, inks, graphite.. canvasses, papers, collages, metal scraps, photography, DIY.. the list goes on, and I try to do them all! (I don't always have enough time). it's hard to define my style, but I don't think there is a real need to do so! every piece of artwork is unique and in each I find expression and joy (even when it doesn't go as planned).

As one smart man once said, if you have something that you believe in, then don't listen to anyone, just take your idea and run with it till the end, keep going with your thing and you will bear fruit eventually.
