Hello Everyone!

Welcome back for the fifth installation of deviantHEART ’s Journal series, Heart to Heart! The goal of these feature articles is to learn more about our featured Heartists overall as well as on a personal level.

Today's Heart to Heart Interview will feature TheSignmaker !

Frenk Breuer (TheSignmaker ) is a 50 year old traditional artist from the Netherlands. He began drawing when he was a child, but was inspired to pursue art seriously when he saw an interview featuring Rajacenna on Dutch TV. He primarily does pencil drawings, mainly focusing on children and Jesus as his artistic subjects (his celebrity drawings are amazing as well). Frenk attributes his growth as a drawing artist to deviantART because this is where he found a community of people willing to mentor him (and we’re so glad he found us ).

Art Feature

If you could have any superpower, what would it be?

The power of healing those that suffer, making them shine like the sun again.

What type of music do you listen to?

I like spiritual Music, Snatam Kaur is my personal favourite.

Tell us about your #1 inspiration and why it’s so significant to your work.

I am inspired by the PERSON of Jesus. I do not mean that in a fixed religious way but in a human way: how he felt, how he was as a person, how he stayed with what he felt to be right in his heart, in spite of the opposition from society.

In your opinion, what is the greatest challenge of being an artist?

The biggest challenge is working from your heart.

Is there any advice you’d like to give to aspiring artists?

Work from your heart. Focus on the process and not on the result. Love drawing as you love your best friend and share that love in your work. When you get scared of ruining a good work, keep on drawing because that is the point where you learn most.

Thank you TheSignmaker for taking the time to answer these questions. If you haven’t already, please check out him out on Facebook !

I wish you all a deviously fantastic day and hope to see you for next week’s Heart to Heart!

xoxo,
jenifferlee
