Drawing with a Pure Heart

The artist, Lincoln Ken, said, "Only put down the pursuit of fame and wealth in your heart and become lightning can create pure art. And pure art can beautify the world."

I think that in the future, I will try my utmost to use my pen with a pure heart to lighten another's burdens, since doing so, would bring me both great joy and immense satisfaction. On the other hand, to find peace with yourself is another way to create beauty, as pure art comes from your unconcealed, exposed, and completely vulnerable heart. Should I suffer from an internal struggle, or should I suffer from an illness, my creations, be they drawings or whatever form, will undoubtedly embody and reflect those afflictions.

Therefore, we need to let our ambitions, our emotions, and our attitudes merge into one, thereby finding inner peace, as but one true path to creating pure art. To choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, in essence, the last possible human freedom, is truly to choose one’s own way. I feel certain that in travelling down this road, great insights and life-changing discoveries are waiting for me…

Hi, Nanda. Good job! Whatever changes I made were to allow your sentences to sound more natural to my native ears, to clarify your ideas, and for ease of reading. My apologies if I misinterpreted.  I hope that this helps you. J.

*I tried to verify your quote since it seems a bit off, but was unable to find it, or any artist named Lincoln Ken/Ken Lincoln. Similarly, the word lightning means the flash of light during a storm, thus, at least to me, it is somewhat out of context here. Within your first sentence, I believe you meant to use the word, lighten, meaning to ease or unburden. Compassion is something we typically give out to others, or receive from them—we cannot give it to ourselves unless you were being poetic. Finally, emotions and spirits are synonymous within this context, so I changed it to attitude, as well as added some additional text regarding it in a rather poor attempt to tie everything together. Mea culpa!
