What happens when technology turns self-doubt into self-expression? That’s the question quietly answered by The Artless, a community born from ArtOnTheGo247®, a digital platform where anyone — not just those who call themselves “artists” — can create and share their own visual works. In the old world of art, there were two kinds of people: artists and everyone else. Artists painted in light-filled studios, spoke in the language of colour and form, and exhibited their work in spaces with names like “gallery” or “biennale.” Everyone else stood outside — admiring, applauding, or simply assuming I could never do that.
But something is cchanging In a time when technology blurs every line, art has found a new home in the hands of the curious. A quiet revolution is happening — one screen, one brushstroke, one unexpected moment of discovery at a time. At the heart of it is ArtOnTheGo247®, a digital platform that invites anyone, regardless of training or talent, to create art from intuition. It has given birth to a movement known as The Artless — a community of first-time creators whose works are about to be showcased and auctioned for the very first time. Their stories aren’t about perfect technique or critical acclaim. They’re about transformation — the moment someone stops saying “I’m not creative” and starts asking “What if I am?”
These are the Voices of The Artless.
Anna Da Silva — “Discovery”
“Before using ArtOnTheGo247®, I never thought of myself as an artist,” says Anna Da Silva, her voice calm but confident. “To me, being an artist always meant having special training or natural talent, and I never saw myself that way.” So when she first opened the platform, she did so with curiosity laced with doubt. “I felt intrigued but also unsure if I could actually create anything meaningful,” she admits. That uncertainty didn’t last long. “The moment I realised, ‘I made something I actually like,’ was a real surprise,” Anna recalls, smiling at the memory “I didn’t expect to see myself in what I created, but suddenly it felt personal.”
She compares it to other small creative attempts she’s made in the past. “Those felt heavy — like I was trying too hard. This felt lighter, easier, and much more rewarding.” Through her art, Anna discovered that creativity doesn’t require credentials. “Making my own artwork changed how I see myself in relation to art,” she says. “I realised I don’t have to be an artist to express myself visually.” It also changed the way she approaches everyday life. “Creativity isn’t something far away anymore,” she says thoughtfully “, It’s just a way of seeing and giving meaning to things.”
She says her finished piece feels deeply personal. “It’s a small but powerful proof that I can create something that holds emotion.” If she had to describe it in one word, she wouldn’t hesitate: “Discovery.” Now that her work will be part of the first-ever Artless Auction, Anna feels both excitement and disbelief. “It’s surreal,” she admits. “I never imagined being in this position.” Her hope for viewers is simple but profound. “I want people to feel curious — and maybe inspired to believe they can create too.” She pauses before answering the last question, as if choosing her words carefully. “Tools like this can really change the way people think about who gets to make art,” she says. “They make the process accessible and less intimidating.” Would she create again? “Definitely. This experience opened a door I didn’t even know I wanted to walk through.”
A. S. — “Wow!”
Although A. S. has always been drawn to beauty — in nature, architecture, and design — he never saw himself as a creator. “If my life depended on it,” he says with a self-deprecating laugh, “I simply could not draw or paint anything that could remotely be called beautiful.” Opening ArtOnTheGo247® for the first time, he asked himself one question: Could this work for me? It could — and it did “The moment I realised I’d made something I actually like, I felt chuffed,” he says, grinning. “And surprised at the potential before me.” What made this experience stand out, he explains, was its political nature. “This felt like I could create something others might actually want to own — professional, not amateur.” The realisation was more than just aesthetic — it was personal. “Now I feel that this is an area I could grow in and even excel,” he says. “It’s opened a completely new way of looking at creativity.”
He’s begun noticing creative expression everywhere — in design, colour, even in daily patterns. “It’s reinforced my interest in observing creativity generally.” Asked what his finished piece means to him, he laughs. “Wow! I did that.” That single word — Wow — captures both pride and disbelief. “It’s the feeling of turning the impossible into something real.” With his work now heading to the Artless Auction, A. S. reflects on how far he’s come “It just goes to show that what may seem impossible can be done,” he says.
And what does he hope viewers feel when they see his piece? “I hope they feel drawn in and surrounded,” he says. For A. S., the experience is proof that creativity doesn’t belong to a select few. “Without a doubt, tools like this can change how people think about who gets to make art.” Would he create again? He smiles. “Yes — but mainly for me.”
K. T. — “Therapeutic”
For K. T., art was never on the to-do list. “No,” she says. “My life is too busy to explore artistic skills.” When she first opened ArtOnTheGo247®, she was curious but sceptical. “My first thought was: How can I be artistic with something so simple?” Simplicity, however, became the key. “It felt like having a pen and paper, or a brush and a blank canvas, and being totally yourself… but digital,” she explains. Then came the moment of pride. “A sense of accomplishment,” she recalls. “That I can do it — and self-express.” Compared to other creative attempts, this one felt different. “It was original,” she says. “You’re not working on someone else’s creation. You’re building your own.”
Through this process, K. T. found calm. “It made me think that digital and geometric art can be fun for the non-artist,” she says. “I even started thinking of it as a new hobby.” Her finished piece represents something deeply personal. “It’s an opportunity to explore my artistic skills and express myself,” she says If she had to describe it in one word? Therapeutic.” When she learned her artwork would be part of the Artless Auction, K. T. felt a mix of surprise and pride. “Honoured,” she says warmly. “To think something I made — in a moment of play — would be seen and maybe even valued by others.” And what does she hope people feel when they view it? “Inspired,” she answers instantly. “I hope they see it and think, If she can do it, maybe I can too.”
K. T. believes creative tools like this could redefine art entirely. “Yes, definitely,” she says. “They can change how people think about who gets to make art.” Would she continue creating? “Absolutely. I’d love to explore my creative skills and experiences further.”
Three creators. Three stories.
Each began with a hesitation — Can I really do this? — and ended with a quiet, confident Yes. What unites Anna, A. S., and K. T. isn’t just their use of technology — it’s the courage to explore their creative instincts, to turn curiosity into expression. The Artless Auction is more than an event; it’s a statement. A declaration that art no longer belongs to the few. It belongs to anyone willing to create, to express, to see beauty in their own hands. Because in the end, art isn’t about perfection — it’s about permission.
The permission to try.
The permission to feel.
And the permission to finally say, “Maybe I’m an artist after all.”
Would you like me to add a short editor’s or curator’s note at the end — something poetic and reflective (like 3–4 sentences) that could serve as the closing paragraph of a printed or online publication? It would tie the message back to the spirit of The Artless and the democratisation of creativity. The Artless began as an experiment — a bridge between technology and imagination. Still, it has become something more profound: a testament to the simple, enduring human desire to create. Every brushstroke of colour, every digital contour, there’s a whisper of bravery. Each piece, whether born from curiosity or courage, carries the same quiet truth: art is not a skill, it’s a language — one we were all born speaking, even if we’d forgotten the words. As the first Artless Auction opens its virtual doors, it invites us to celebrate not perfection, but participation. Because the future of creativity doesn’t belong to those who already call themselves artists — it belongs to anyone willing to begin.
