Both. I love making art. Also I believe that it is one of the few things I do well. So I was hoping to get at least minimum wage for doing something I love. It seems that this will not happen any time soon. So now I intend to make art just for myself and not even hope to sell it.

Have you went to local markets and stuff to try and sell it?
In the past I had contract with a local gallery. They sold only 1 my piece and after some time kicked me out because they were not selling any of my works. In total I sold 5 pieces since 2017 and earned I believe 370 eur. I tried gifting pieces to people. I tried bringing them to a fair. Recently I tried making professional prints(and I paid a lot for them) and selling them to my neighbours. Nothing worked well enough to give me desired results. People from one hospital had promised me an exhibition. But I brought some of my best pieces there months ago. And the hospital still doesn't have the way to hang them... At first I was super excited about that potential exhibition. But now it feels that waiting is pointless so I am tempted to go there and take my pieces home without waiting for that exhibition. The last ,,idea'' I have is to fake my own death to see if people will start buying then. But I am not doing that any time soon.
Well, I would just keep making art because you love it.
yes that is my current plan as well.
