CREATIVITYA mere combination of 7 notes can result in a thing so magnificent and boundless as Music is hard to believe .For ages, people conributed to the overwhelmingly huge collection of various combinations of these 7 notes .Just to realize that all the varieties of music that in the world is nothing but mere arrangement of these 7 notes in different fashion(probably the most iodiotic definition of music in the history of mankind but nonetheless true by logic) will make you understand that creativity is mostly innnovation within constraints.
Creativity is a strange thing . It finds its inspiration in strange places,things,objects and people. A bestseller novel might find its origin in varied places. Some authors write mostly to reflect their own life, some write it from nothing but a figment of imagination.. some find inspiration in people around them , some find the cultural outlook of the people amusing or bemusing enough to write and this list of inspirations that can be called anything but comprehensive .Authors are , afterall strange people(this is very personal opinion of mine).
A painter mostly finds its inspiration in philosophical paradigms, complicity of life, people in real life, depictions of God in litrature and a living being too. At times inspiration can be so idiosyncratic that you may find them weird .You may also find urself unable to find any connection between the inspiration and the piece of art it inspired..but that is absolutely normal.Artists are afterall strange people( this is again a very personal opinion of mine).
It really does not matter which descipline of art i am talking about .. the creation of a piece of art always unfolds itself in such a stupendous manner that you are left only to marvel at the the beauty of it..both the process of creation and the final result.Seeing a real master work on his art is such a treat to anyone's eye.You will realize that once a artist is clear what is to be created..it will be created .. at any cost. It is as if that work is desperately seeking life and it surrenders itself into the hands of master... and as it always happens ....life finds its way.
No constraints can stop that creation of work...money,time,skill,people,effort .. anything.
It is creativity which refuses to look at constraints which makes this world go round.This sheer adamence of acting blind to limitations is the key to creation of a masterpiece.
It is also the key to be the best person you can possibly be.
ADIOS
