How to enjoy too many awesome hobbies!

"The Joy of Discovering Your Own Creativity"  When it comes to creativity, Violet, the illustrator of Space World, is truly multitalented. But her path to this point was anything but straightforward. Until the end of 2023, Violet was convinced that she was not a creative person. “I always thought art was for others, not for me,” she says. But then she began to explore her creative side – and discovered a seemingly endless world of possibilities.

Today, she juggles painting board game miniatures, digital art, 3D design, book illustrations and much more. “It started because I just wanted to try something new,” she recalls. “And suddenly I realized: I can do this. Maybe not perfectly, but it doesn't have to be.”

The joy of discovering her abilities has completely changed Violet. “It was like I had a treasure buried inside me for years without even realizing it,” she says with a smile as she concentrates on painting a miniature with fine details. “Now I want to try everything. It's not about creating a masterpiece right away, but about enjoying the process.”

But despite all her enthusiasm, Violet also struggles with doubts – especially with the widespread myth that art is only valuable if it is perfect. “For a long time, I convinced myself that art is only for people who have studied for years. But then I look at my work and realize: it speaks to people. And that alone is art.”

The biggest lesson she has learned? Creativity has no rules. “Sometimes I see my own work and think, ‘I could have done that better,’ but then I remind myself that perfection is not the goal. It's about sharing something of myself, and that's much more valuable.”

As Violet continues to try her hand at one hobby after another, one question always remains: What's next? “Maybe stop-motion films? Or I'll try audiobook recordings. There are so many possibilities, and each one feels like a new discovery.”

Whether it's a curse or a blessing, for Violet, the creative chaos is a journey that never ends. And maybe that's the best part of it all: constantly surprising herself. “Sometimes I think, why did I hesitate for so long to try all this? But then I realize, now is exactly the right time.” 😊
