According to Shireen, it is not an easy task to find a gifted artist, with a high quality artwork, even though there are a lot of people becoming artists.
“An artist must have their own signature idea. The idea must keep on expanding, in every piece of work,” she added.
An artist must have the ability to accept critiques and see the benefits form others point of views on your personal artwork. Having the ability to criticize your own self is a plus.
“Either as a writer or an artist, you must always communicate and ask yourself. And then the answers will be translated to a piece of art,” she said.
