Ashley Cullen: Embracing Authenticity in Art

I would just say to you: um, follow your intuition, as cliche as that is, um, do not take advice from people that the advice that makes you uncomfortable, just discard it.
What happens when an artist lets their true self shine through their work? In this episode of 'Born to Create', Maria-Katharina Richters sits down with Ashley Cullen, a talented emerging artist from Australia. Ashley's journey took her from the bustling streets of Canberra to the halls of the Australian National University, where she pursued degrees in Visual Art, Art History, Literature, and Ancient History. Her portraits are raw and emotive, capturing the human experience in its most vulnerable moments.
Maria-Katharina is captivated by Ashley's work, comparing it to the likes of Francis Bacon and Lucien Freud, though acknowledging Ashley's unique flair. Their conversation dives deep into the essence of creativity, the importance of authenticity, and the challenges of living abroad. Ashley's advice? Trust your intuition and paint from your truth, even if it means ignoring uncomfortable advice. This episode is a heartfelt exploration of how art can be a powerful tool for emotional well-being and self-expression.
Whether you're an artist or someone who appreciates the transformative power of creativity, Ashley's story will inspire you to embrace your originality and let your true self shine.
