How Much Of Art Is Made Up?

Having started my own art career about a year or so ago there's been a lot I've learnt both in the crafting of art as well as a lll the manners and ways you promote your work. 

It is safe to say that almost everywhere you are sending your artwork or putting it out there, they ask for your biography. The simple thing of who you are and an insight into your journey into art. When you read this it usually will affect both your interest in the person as an artist and the possible interpretations of their art also. It is safe to say it has a place in any mystique or intrigue someone may have straight away, but is it true? The fact it has an important role makes it easy for people to understand embellishment and making things either more dramatic or more odd. The more unusual your backstory, the more likely they view your work through an odd spectrum that sees someone view the art as a psychological examination into how it came about. The more dramatic your back story and a piece will be analysed for sentiment and be seen to express more than it does. I have found myself a desire to make up my journey into painting because it is a little dull, and I don't want my art to be seen as dull. 

This desire comes from the knowledge that renowned artists have always been pretty out there and eccentric, or mad, or egotistical in a interesting way that makes them almost as much of an artistic spectacle than the pieces they have crafted. If you don't enter art and life with a flurry, what suggests you have anything endearing and mysterious enough to captivate in your art. Biography is a great place for the art to start and one may have to take it as a commencement of the art rather than a truthful insight into the history and origins of the artist. This is my opinion anyway.
