Inspired
It is a spark, an enlightenment, an outburst of energy, of sensation, of stimulation, that motivate us to find meaning, to get out of routine, to push forward, to create and to develop. Inspiration makes me want to express myself. It can come to me slowly and quietly, as a process, or in a flash of light, intentionally or unintentionally. Sometimes it is visible, sometimes hidden. Inspiration is what makes me chase, realize and implement my dreams. It's a mental state where everything is possible for me, everything is clear, correct, accurate.
I believe you don't have to go far to find inspiration. It's under our noses, in everything, anywhere, anytime. I find inspiration in almost everything: ideas, people, buildings, nature, art, literature, music, sports, fashion, food—life.
When I encounter inspiration, I allow it to enter. It penetrates me, moves and activates me – I can’t help it, I feel it in my bones. My passion burns, shakes, fills me, takes over my mental space, until there is no more free space. I feel alive, excited. I am in motion, in action, in creation. I am called to do the thing, to express myself. It comes from within, spreads, takes over and makes it clear to me what I need to do and how. Then I go into the studio and create something.
New, different, interesting, different, bold – something I haven't made before: an interesting texture, an exciting flavor, a new cake.
I received the inspiration for this book from the world's greatest fashion designers, coaches, architects, and the wonderful people who surround me and allow me to wake up every morning and fulfill my dreams.
I hope this book will inspire you…
