What Attributes Does an Artist Need to Possess?

Art is birthed by desire, longing and need. It is the artist who teaches the world around him how to see these ideals, but who is the artist?

  1. Creationist

    • Charcoal studies.

      An artist is a creationist. The artist feels a drive to create objects. It seems at times the subject matter haunts him until it has been successfully recreated in some form.

    Dreamer

    • Girl at the ocean.

      The artist is a dreamer. Sitting before a blank canvas, a lump of clay or a block of stone, he is able to see what it will become.

    Inspired

    • The birth of Venus revisited.

      Inspiration is the driving desire in the artist to share a new perspective with the world. This is at the very core of an artist.

    Determined

    • Mother and child.

      An artist is determined. It is sheer determination that drives the artist to paint, scrape and repaint a canvas to reach some semblance of perfection.

    Dedicated

    • Make me.

      An artist is dedicated to his work. He makes no apologies for the "life" he has created and never takes no for an answer.
