Rusheel Sareen is an Australia-based Indian Artist. As an artist and an absolute empath Rusheel truly believes in the statement that art is not always supposed to look nice but it is supposed to make you feel something. “Being an absolute empath, I try to channel the profound emotions I feel in life into my art with the intent of invoking positive feelings in others” says Rusheel
This is also why she sometimes combines her art process with soulful music to enhance this sense of feeling. Empaths will know, that being one can be mentally and emotionally tiring says the artist. Creating art for her is a way to release the absorbed energy, the mental turmoil which comes from feeling things too profoundly.
Although, being an empath also has many positives. It lets you experience high levels of compassion, consideration, loyalty, and understanding towards others and situations. Therefore, when she creates art, she tries to channel these positive emotions I go through in life into the process of creating thereby embracing her sensitivity.
“If I am going to feel something so deeply, why not let it be empowering and have a positive impact on myself and others,” says Rusheel.
For this reason, the biggest reward for me is when people say my artworks/process videos make them feel something, most often it is love, patience, freedom, and nostalgia states the artist. She also believes that art is not only something she loves to practice but something she needs to practice to thrive in life. Even though she is a full-time Senior Data Analyst at a renowned telecommunications and technology company, she makes sure she has time to create.
