Damien Hirst was very hard criticized for his last exhibition, for his paintings and because he have said that anyone can be like Rembrandt or as good as a famous artist from the past just working hard. The critics said that he is not worried about being a "decent artist" and just say things others don't agree.The thing is, you are good working hard but there are others that have special skills and ease for art.
I choose this topic first of all because it is about art and in my opinion is very intresting the discuss because it faces you to the figure of the genius in art, a figure that have been there for centuries,a very long myth or maybe reality.
To mention the article discussion I think with hard work you can improve a lot but the special thing maybe is what is in your head, you can be technically good but not as good in other things. I f you work and you have talent you will certainly feed your artistic skills, the wonderful thing is the universe that lies within you, the technique is just the way for taking out the imagination. No one can be like other, I think as ana rtist you should worrie about yourself, about being like you want to be or making the things you want to do not to compare yourself with another, everyone is so different and has different experiences wich modifies the way you see the world and the way you express yourself.
