Because we are artists and creators.
We first and foremost identify ourselves as individuals with a creative spirit. For us, life is a continuous journey of creation.
Life’s journey is a one-time experience, and its value and meaning are defined by what we leave behind for the world. Outstanding works of art are the gifts we give back to the world.
For a warrior, the most important thing is to defend peace; for a doctor, it’s to save lives; for an artist, it’s to touch souls.
As creators, isn’t our artwork the most important to us?
Apart from creating, there’s also living.
Besides our creative endeavors, there’s also the aspect of living our lives. Life demands labor and rewards for sustenance.
So, being an artist doesn’t necessarily mean exclusively pursuing a creative career; excellence in creation can blossom in various fields, often hidden in plain sight.
Some individuals are determined to dedicate their lives solely to creative work, relying on inspiration and artistic skills as their livelihood. While this path is appealing to some, it can be arduous and precarious. The challenges lie in isolating oneself in a so-called “creative bubble,” disconnecting from the real world, and being vulnerable to the fluctuations of inspiration. Even more perilous is the fact that genuine inspiration often arises from the ordinary aspects of daily life. It’s often observed that artwork created in isolation from the broader community tends to struggle to become timeless classics, a phenomenon frequently evident in the lives of artists after they gain fame.
Engaging in other professions can offer creators a diverse perspective on life.
O. Henry, for instance, took on various occupations earlier in life, including working as an apprentice in a local pharmacy, being a cowboy in West Texas for two years, and later pursuing careers as an accountant, land office clerk, news reporter, and cashier at the First National Bank in Austin, the capital of Texas. His works profoundly influenced many people globally, particularly those portraying the lives of ordinary New Yorkers, such as “
The Gift of the Magi,” “The Cop and the Anthem,” and “The Last Leaf.” He spent time with individuals from the lower rungs of society, harboring deep compassion for them and understanding their thoughts and emotions.
You don’t necessarily have to start as an artist and then become an accountant; you can also begin as an accountant and later become an artist. As long as the seed of creative spirit resides within a person, once awakened, their inner role as a creator can flourish.
What truly matters is the creative spirit within an individual.
Artworkism is precisely such a belief. Its purpose is to awaken the creative spirit, ignite a passion for life, and encourage the creation of outstanding works.
We should appreciate that engaging in other professional roles not only sustains our lives but also continually provides us with a rich source of material for our creative endeavors.
Therefore, Artworkism is of great significance to us.
