Hey guys! Callum here, special thanks to HAMARTIA for the amazing layout. It's been a month since the last interview with an artist, you can click
here to find that. This time we're interviewing VP's
Rosa, let's find out more behind their art and any sneak peeks they have for the future!

What inspires your art? Basically, people. Appearances of the human race. I love drawing faces, well, it's the only thing I've worked on for a long time. I also have a camera in my mind, I always look for new inspiration, and when I see something, I take a (very cheesy) mental photo of it, and saves it for later use. Haha.
How much time do you spend on each art piece? It depends, but I rarely finish them, to be honest. It can take multiple hours, but most likely 30 minutes to an hour.
Do you experience art blocks? Oh, yes, always. And when I say always, I mean always. I have more art block than a creative flow.
Describe your art in 3 words. Fragile, Strong, Non-Binary. I might explain that last word, but it might not make sense - all of the portraits that comes from my head, are partly described as non-binary. Even though they might have features associated with a specific gender, they are my way of thinking and being, and I'm non-binary.
Do you have any advice for other artists? If so, what? If you're insecure on how you want to express yourself through art, look at your favorite artists, and take a small part of their art, copy it, process it, and make it your own. Don't copy anyone else's work fully, but use your favorite parts of them to make something great.
Who are your favourite VP artists? I have a few favorite artists here, VP is so creative, I love it. My absolute faves are:
Mmimousa,
Encrede,
Crew,
Ad0xa,
Snailman and
D0LLHOUSE.
Do you have any future art projects? I do! Way, way ahead, I'd like to work as a graphic designer. Nowadays, I try to do more digital art just to practise! It's truly a dream of mine, being a graphic designer.
