One thing that I discovered early on: interests can change with time. It can also evolve, branch out or go on a new path. It usually do with growing up and doing discovery. For example, as a teenager, I had no interest with painting. As an adult, I discovered some artists that had a impact on me and I followed their work. I don't know if it was meant to be or just accident. I am just happy to have made those discoveries. There are time where I would had like to discover some artist sooner or be aware of them sooner. For example, I know I saw the first Alien (the movie http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0078748/?ref_=nmbio_trv_18) before knewing who was Giger was.
Stumbling on something totally unknown is a fun experience, especially when there is an appeal in the work. One thing that I learned ealry on was the basis of what I liked in painting. It all started with strip cartoon. In some classic strip cartoon, there are the colour palette that didn't appeal to me an in other, I don't mind the colour but combined with the drawings appeal more to me. Still, in other strip cartoon, what I liked the most was the treatment of alien technology, the originality of the author. It was the school; where I develop my taste for artwork what Iike and dindn't like. It helped when I discovered the paintings world.
My interest evolved with time. I learned a few things since then that made me see my teenage self interests differently. Nothing stay the same, all change. It is the same with interests. I just want to keep learning and stumble on new info and see if something will attract my attention. I don't close the door on new interests. It help me get inspired.
