one of the favorite corners at home right now - antique linen, a 19th century basin with flowers, a concrete table my cousin @artyom.seryogin made & the most beautiful wall color I can think of at the moment ♥️ oh, and I almost forgot my all time favorite piece - a #louiskalff lamp I adore to pieces ... gathering love, not things, if you ask me 😉😍♥️ #solebich #germaninteriorbloggers #midcentury #machmidsommar #farrowandballdropcloth #interior123 #artdeco
One of the most important tasks as an artist was to learn to create&publish along the pace of my own heart.Especially at times when I was constantly flooded with spectacular,often overwhelming impressions:up to a point of where my senses got lost in an explosion of plenty.But I never lost sight of what was most important to me:the love for my craft! In order to grow&to challenge myself I knew,I needed to invest every second in this craft!I knew,I needed to dedicate myself to photography!I never bought into this false notion that results would magically appear or success would just happen over night.I worked all my life to be my best self.I remember those nights,when @monsterscircus &I would exchange emails til 4am to improve our skills.But still,some days I deliberately held back because things weren’t l finished,I wasn’t ready. These past years, these past months in particular,I learned to appreciate all the little steps&how to keep faith with my dreams&visions.One part of it was allowing myself to be worthy of my dreams&I have been working so much on my craft that I forgot to share all these little steps…Until now.Last weekend I attended the @gardenandhomeblogaward created by @prachtstern &WON MY 3rd AWARD💃🏻Thank you so very much @decor8 + @thestlouisreviews for presenting the award to me!Still need to stretch that muscle that makes me talk comfortably about my achievements,yet I am deeply humbled&thankful to have won this award!It proves that hard work,endurance,a humble approach&also being quiet+slow(again,the pace of my heart)can lead ways I have never dreamt of! So this is my award-winning photo&at the ceremony I got asked how long it took me to create it.My answer was: ‚20 minutes.‘ But the real answer is: ‚It took a lifetime.‘ Social media has trained us to measure success by extrinsic validation of strangers or even worse:likes generated by some random algorithm.Work for yourself&you will never depend on any form of exterior praise.♥️I am humbled to have reached this amazing goal but what is even more beautiful is the conditions it creates:to realize how far I have yet to go!
