Artists on Creative Processes

This book should serve as a source of inspiration to help creative people overcome the obstacles that can appear during the production process. Featuring 25 genre-defying artists working outside the mainstream, it takes readers inside their work spaces and challenges them to focus on details that help reveal some of the secrets of their creative activity. In addition to the many images of their work, the artists, in their own words, shed light on the creative processes that made them possible. They explain why they create, what they are trying to say and how they look to literature, sculpture, music, theater or scenes from everyday life to overcome creative blocks and self-doubt and stay inspired and productive. Through their words and work, the contemporary painters, sculptors, photographers, tattooists, graffiti artists and muralists that appear in this insightful and visually sumptuous book transmit the emotion, energy, individuality and irony that defines their artistic production and the creative processes behind it.
