The inspiring journey of a poet: An artist’s approach to authentic expression
Fella Cederbaum’s journey as an artist reflects her deep commitment to the pursuit of truth. Her poetry, music, films, and visual art are all expressions of an inner dialogue with life’s big questions — those that never come with easy answers.
Fella’s work connects with the raw essence of human experience. That kind of exploration means to live, feel, and seek understanding. In that every poem she writes is an invitation for others to do the same. Her poetry, written in her very unique questioning style, urge her audience to look inward, question the stories they tell themselves, and explore the belief systems that shape their lives.
All of Fella’s artistic expressions are spontaneous and not geared to serve as entertainment, but rather to inspire a journey into the unknown. Works like The Door and The Great Offense are more than just art in that they invite viewers to explore and confront their own inner truths.
Fella Cederbaum’s artistic expressions flow organically and naturally, requiring minimal editing: “When I wrote the poems, they formed in my head, and I followed it. I write them very, very quickly. They just come out fully formed,” she says. “I hardly ever edit. It just comes the way it is, and then it’s finished.”
For Fella Cederbaum, this spontaneous process mirrors her overall philosophy of life. She believes that creativity — and life itself — is about letting go of control. You have to trust that something true and real will come through by loosening your grip. Therefore, this theme of surrender shows up not just in her art, but also in the way she lives.
Over time, her love for music and painting grew into today’s full-blown multifaceted artistic expression, bringing her poems to life through her short films, set to her own compositions and set into the magical landscapes of her very unique artwork.
