Creativity Quote by Barbara Januszkiewicz

An artist telling you to "be drawn" to visual arts is doing two things at once: offering an invitation and quietly naming the mechanism of influence. The phrase is almost self-fulfilling. You dont just choose art like a menu item; you feel pulled toward it, the way color or composition can hook the eye before the brain catches up. Januszkiewicz frames that pull as productive, not passive. Looking becomes a kind of training.

The intent is practical, even a little evangelical: make art part of your mental diet because it changes how you think. Not in the tidy self-help sense of "get inspired", but in the muscle-building sense: repeated exposure to visual problems (space, abstraction, symbolism, perspective, ambiguity) teaches the mind to tolerate uncertainty and to prototype possibilities. "Expand your imagination" is her way of arguing for art as cognitive infrastructure. You learn to see alternatives, not just aesthetics.

The subtext is a rebuttal to a culture that treats visual art as luxury, decoration, or an elite hobby. For an artist working in the late 20th and 21st centuries - when images flood daily life via advertising, screens, and algorithms - urging people toward the visual arts is also a bid to reclaim visual literacy. If youre going to live inside images anyway, she implies, you might as well engage with the ones designed to open you up rather than narrow you down.
