Artists are creative beings. They shape their work, their environment, and their lives. 

“Ultimately, all questions of humanity are questions of configuration.” 

J. Beuys 

Artists live in another world. They tend to dwell in intuitive rather than logical realms. They learn to understand the world through play. They find ways to approach their holy grail: innovation. 

Creative people are used by the intelligence of life to drive evolution. They are like vessels through which the new comes into the world. They reach out into the unknown and come back with their hands full of treasures. 

However, they are neither geniuses nor particularly special, but rather agents of life. They turn themselves into an instrument by following their passion. They love to be played by this incredible orchestra.
