Can a self taught artist of paintings become an established artist? How?

May 8, 2010 - 8:08 am 3 Comments

Is it necessary to have a BFA and a MFA to become an established artist in India? Does art education play an important role? Is is necessary to have a degree and masters in your portfolio description for people to appreciate your paintings.

Can a self taught artist become an established artist if he has great talent? If he holds exhibition after exhibition, and on the strenght of his art alone, can he prove his art to the world, that education is not everything, inborn talent can also prevail.

Hi there,
Here in western europe, art educations only teach you some way of thinking. You don’t learn how to paint at all. People do look at the resume, but it helps more when they like your work.

If you practice a lot on your own effort, you can gain skills and develop your own style. Of course talent helps. But you also need to practice every day.

Good luck, Evelien
