Conceptualising the website's purpose

I am finally here - coming up with a concept for my website. I have to admit this is a bit confusing for me. As I already mentioned, I would have preferred  the brief from last year, where you had to showcase your cultural background or focus on a particular interest of yours. The idea that you need to make it professional as well, means that you need to keep in mind future employers might be looking at this. For me this means that whatever you decide to present needs to add value not only to your personality, but to your professional identity as well. The one thing that might just put you ahead when you go job hunting. 

This should have been easy task for me, as I have spent the last 25 years building on my identity and I have come to appreciate and like the person I am now. But what is it about me that will make someone think - 'This is the person I want to employ!'. After considering my options, I went with art, or more precisely my endless love for and appreciation of modern and contemporary art. I grew up behind the Iron Curtain, and my exposure to art in my formative years was really limited. We were indoctrinated since early age and, until the fall of the Berlin Wall and my country opening to the world, I had no idea what I have been missing. I have to admit that as a creator of art I am not particularly successful. But as someone fascinated with how art reflects life and helps us to understand better the world we live in, and our place in it, I have dedicated significant time and efforts to know more, to see more, to understand more. I have done few art qualifications online from different institutions, including MOMA, so it is decided now, art it is. 

In order to focus my efforts I will try to highlight the kind of art I am most fascinated with, but also where in London you can enjoy that. London is one of the most important art hubs in the world, yet a lot of people, especially young people I found out recently, have no idea what this city has to offer. I was lucky to spend 3 year living in London in my 20s, right when Tate Modern opened, and to explore London's art venues, popular and not so much. It has been an important part of my life to connect with art and be influenced by it. I resumed exploring London's art world when I moved back here 7 years ago. My only concern now is how I will structure this, but also how to keep it simple and informative. I have been already told in Year 1 at Uni, that I tend to go overboard, create too much work for myself and worry too much. In other words, this time I will try to adopt the idea that sometimes less is more! I guess we will see exactly how flexible I am when I try to change how I do things, and how I work!
