In this episode of Radio Amenti, co-hosts Jennifer Sodini and Yoshino (host of Artist Decoded and co-creator of The Artist Decoded Tarot) lead an insightful and multifaceted conversation with Rose Ides. Rose Ides is a multidisciplinary artist, originally from aSan Diego, with a specialization in veristic surrealism. Her work extends beyond visual art, as she delves into the sociology of the arts in the United States, offering thought-provoking insights through her writing. With a diverse background in sociology, education, public health, and art, Rose’s creative practice is centered on fostering artistic compassion and advocating for creative liberation. She has published two acclaimed illustrative projects with Running Press—Oracle of Pluto (2023) and The Cosmic Symposium (2024)—both available at major book retailers. Jennifer opens the episode by reflecting on her creative journey, touching on themes of artistic insecurity, self-expression, the cultural constructs surrounding what it means to be an artist, and how coming to terms with ADHD has helped her accept her unique 'operating system,' learning to move through life with more clarity. In this conversation, which originally aired on Artist Decoded Podcast, Jennifer, Yoshino and Rose explore the fluidity of identity, the role of dreams in artistic expression, and the need for educational reform to nurture creativity over conformity. The trio also delves into the importance of emotional liberation for authentic expression and how art serves as a conduit for communicating deeper truths about existence.
