Overview
Creativity is often described as something
beyond mere willpower; it’s a force we
tune into rather than manufacture. Some
artists and thinkers describe it as a
dialogue with the unconscious, a universal
source of inspiration, or even a form of
spiritual receptivity. Rather than forcing
ideas, true creativity emerges when we
listen: whether to intuitive impulses, dream
imagery, or the world around us. Artists
such as Hilma af Klint, Wassily Kandinsky,
and Agnes Martin embraced this
philosophy, treating art-making as an act
of attunement rather than control. Their
work reveals how surrendering to creative
flow can lead to profound and unexpected
discoveries.
