#3 ART TALK with Lucianna Whittle, British artist based in Brighton, U.K.

Hi. I'm Bianca Vinther, creator of The Pointless Artist. This is
an art talk I had with Lucianna Whittle on Wednesday, 9 February
2022. Lucianna is a process-driven artist based in the charming
and culturally vibrant city of Brighton, on the south coast of
England. Apart from being a super mum of two and of swimming in
the sea all year long, Lucianna dedicates a lot of her time and
energy to creating gorgeous abstract paintings. 


We discussed her artistic journey, how she sees reality and
herself as an artist, and what seeing actually means for her. We
also talked about her relationship to music and her approach to
painting, as well as about her creative process, sources of
inspiration, and understanding of artist block. She addressed the
power of transformation, awareness, and consciousness, and
revealed to me the ultimate purpose of her life. 


We touched upon the practice of observational drawing and the
discipline of being an artist – attention, stillness, focus among
other things. In my final question, I inquired about what is most
important to Lucianna as an artist and a human being. She spoke
convincingly about the connection to one’s true self and the
significance of deep listening.


We experienced a deep connection through a common understanding
of life and the art-making process. We share the same
compassionate approach to seeing, listening, and creating, as
well as a passion for music. And we are equally convinced that
seeing from within is the only sustainable and transformative way
to experience life and get to the essence of who we truly are.


Via The Pointless Artist Blog, I support the creative energy of
life and the artists who contribute to transforming this world
into a freer, kinder, more inclusive, caring, transparent, and
compassionate place to live. I firmly believe in the passion for
art, the importance of sharing knowledge and experiences, and the
power of personal stories to bring us together.
