On one of the websites I read:
"An artist is not only a profession, but also a vocation. You can master color theory, different techniques, study masterpieces of world painting, but without a desire to create a true artist will not happen. It should be distinguished by a special perception of reality, the ability to draw inspiration from the world around them, to translate flashes of thought and shades of feeling into works of art..."
I completely agree with this and would like to add.
For me an artist is also a philosopher-thinker who not only tries to represent the world with the means at his disposal but also tries to understand the laws of the universe. He enters into a dialogue with the viewer and with himself every time he conceives a project and picks up a brush. He is an interlocutor and provocateur who invites you into a discussion. He asks questions and offers his answers, creating a field for reflection.
