Artistic processes
Both her maternal and paternal grandmothers were painters and women recognized for their creativity.

![DESABAFO - Reflexões de uma artista desaprendendo a julgar.
Honrando o caminho até aqui...
Não foi facil chegar até aqui, teve muita r e s i s t ê n c i a minha. Dei nome a isso depois que li o livro do Stephen Pressfield “A Guerra da arte” ou “Como superar seus limites internos” e ouvindo hoje um podcast sobre o livro, ficou ainda mais claro. Obrigada @beatrizbeghen ✨
Por isso para mim é muito claro que eu precisei morar sozinha lá em 2021 para abrir espaço para esse meu lado de forma mais aterrada e menos no campo das ideias. E se, e se... - eu resolvi que meu tempo só, também seria tempo de ser quem eu sempre quis ser. Alguém que cria. Esse ateliê morada, como gosto de chamar, me deu liberdade pra aceitar e explorar meu eu artista e aqui faço e refaço acordos comigo mesma. 🏡🎨
Também entendo que foi preciso ir para um trabalho remoto, onde as pessoas estao literalmente fora das minhas fronteiras, para que eu não me preocupasse com o julgamento alheio sobre fazer o que eu queria fazer. Para não me sentir inadequada. Porque nesse mundo é muito dificil aceitar que somos multiplos. Como alguém do mundo corporativo pode ser sensível? E o julgamento era interno mesmo. Eu e eu mesma. 🌼
Foi preciso tudo isso e acho que hoje, meu maior desafio, é novamente a resistência, agora em relação ao compromisso de agir. Já abri espaço pro meu eu artista, mas até onde eu vou com isso? Eu não pinto todos os dias, eu perco muito tempo buscando inspiração e sempre tem algo mais importante para fazer. Eu digo a mim mesma que se eu levar muito a sério, as pessoas vão levar muito a sério e obviamente eu vou fracassar como artista. Não vou cumprir a promessa de ser o que as pessoas entendem como artista. É obvio que vou falhar.
