Creativity

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.
