Van Gogh’s work became legendary not just because of his techniques but because of his story—his struggles, emotions, and the passion behind everything he created. His journey gave his work meaning, making people connect with him on a deeper level.

Now, let’s talk about you. You might think, "I have just completed my BFA, or I’m still studying. What story do I have?"
Sharing your journey adds depth to your work and helps people relate to it. Your struggles, inspirations, and experiences shape your artistic voice—making what you create unique. Your artist statement is the bridge between your work and your audience. It helps people understand your creations and builds an emotional connection.

Even if you're still a student, developing an artist statement early will set you apart. It will help you present yourself confidently at exhibitions, on social media, and even while applying for art opportunities.
