The Beautiful Art and Inspiration of Studio Ghibli
There aren't too many times in your life that you find real magic in the world. But when you do, it can completely change your life! Growing up I loved watching the classic Disney movies which teleported me to other worlds. But I always longed for more. I was constantly looking for more intricate, believable, and unique universes to explore.
And then I found the wonderful work of Hayao Miyazaki and the animators at Studio Ghibli. The non-linear plots, attention to details, and gorgeous hand drawn animations give the fantasy worlds a true sense of authenticity. Many Ghibli movies also feature strong female leads, a reverence for nature, and amazing music which really set them apart from other animated films.
Seeing the immense creativity and unwavering dedication to the craft, I then realized what it truly meant to be an artist. Feeling very inspired, I set off on my own journey to become a professional artist and creator of beauty. The picture above was my very first canvas I painted depicting Noface from Spirited Away. Since then, I've evolved my art quite a bit but I always return to Ghibli anime to pay respect and get inspiration. Below are a few Ghibli pieces I've made over the years.
Even today, I continue to learn new things about art, philosophy, and life from the Ghibli movies even after so many times rewatching them. I hope everyone has a chance to see what I have seen in these movies.
Never sacrifice your artistic vision for money and never stop manifesting your consciousness into creation.
