Who is “Artist”?
An artist is someone who uses various languages to express themselves and contribute something meaningful to the world. Through their work, they make emotions and thoughts tangible and shareable. They have the ability to connect with an audience and provide them with a valuable experience or insight. In this sense, art becomes a tool for communication and a gift that enriches the lives of others.
