Working in a field of art should not be easy, especially being a painter. When you paint a modern or western pespective painting or use different colors, people may disapprove it as an art, that is, they may dare. It is normal for people who is uneducated in art to take such a stand, and these attitudes may disappoint you. People may direct you in different directions, but you must recognize your own talent and follow it. It is very important to be conscious of the openness of your artistic vision. Remember that one day you will meet people who understand and support you instead of people who talk about your weaknesses.
