Description

---

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.ARTISTS INCLUDED: ARGENTINA: Claudio Pedraza. BELGIUM: Ingrid Godon. CHILE: Jos Romussi.
