Meet Ard Su

We were lucky to catch up with Ard Su recently and have shared our conversation below.

Ard, we’re thrilled to have you sharing your thoughts and lessons with our community. So, for folks who are at a stage in their life or career where they are trying to be more resilient, can you share where you get your resilience from?
I get my resilience from activities like doing nothing, or engaging in seemingly redundant work, such as laundry. My job consumes a lot of energy from being creative, and it leads to a “mental overloaded”. It is essential for me alleviate those thoughts and ideas by engaging in activities that are the opposite of my work.

Thanks for sharing that. So, before we get any further into our conversation, can you tell our readers a bit about yourself and what you’re working on?
I’m a visual artist involved in illustration, graphic design, and visual narrative work. My work delve into the surreal aspect of reality. Over the past year, I’ve been trying to incorporate my asian perspective into my art. I’m eager to explore more in this new year.

There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?
Knowing my limitations, and making use of it. I’ve come to realized that the uniqueness of one’s work often comes from what they’re NOT good at. When I just started my art journey,struggling with the perspectives led me to take a different approach. Instead of focusing on improvement, I embraced a “lazy solution” by darkening the backgrounds of my work, which eventually evolved into a surreal atmosphere in my art.

So my advice is for artists who are early in their journey is, instead of trying to push your skills to the best, try highlighting your weaknesses. Unexpected positive outcomes may arise.

How can folks who want to work with you connect?
