Inspiration

Many things inspire me, but I have chosen a selection to talk about.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is one of my favourite film, and I like the idea that there is a whole different world within ours, where extraordinary things happen. I like to recreate the sense of magic, and something otherworldly when I am creative. 

 

This piece of music is absolutely beautiful, and it totally captures all the sadness that the character evokes. If I were to create something based on this video, I can see the themes and ideas and colours that I would use. It is very inspiring.

 

Vincent Van Gogh – Starry Night. This is by far my favourite painting, because I like the style of the brush strokes, and the colours are so vivid and intense. The blue of the sky and the yellow of the stars and moon counteract perfectly, and the village below looks picturesque and homey.

Jitka Hanzlova – Forest. I like this range of photographs, because although they were taken in Czech Republic, in her hometown, they look as if they are from another world, somewhere that we can’t reach.
