already been driven by intend-
ed and pre-calculated outcomes.
So, what about you? Why not buy
a huge canvas, some paint, go out-
side in your garden or park and
create a fluid acrylic painting?
It’s really that easy! When I tried
this fluid technique for the first
time I created the painting in the
picture above. It doesn’t happen
often that I like my creation after
I’m finished with it. But Cosmo
Continents is one of these rare
paintings I can look at and feel
I’m still interested in it. On top
of the whole joy and relaxation I
had with the creation of it, I now
also have something that makes
me simply smile and happy when
I look at it. And I look forward to
creating more and improving my
work with this fluid technique.
I haven’t learned how to stay
creative in my life when I was
in school or at uni or working
in some of my previous jobs.
Sometimes, creativity has been
described as something I can-
not earn a living with and this is
mirroring a very narrow minded
and limited and outdated view.
Making art like painting my
canvases is only one part of be-
ing creative in life. What I like is
that it inspires and enables me to
be more creative in my daily life
and in my job. I personally think
that this is key to succeed bet-
ter in future in so many things.
I still hear people around me
saying “oh I’m not so creative as
you are” and they automatical-
ly assume they would never be
able to create things like I do.
Sad, sad, sad to hear that. And
