Rules
Creativity flourishes when artists dare to question the limitations imposed by convention, using rules not as restrictions but as temporary stepping stones toward innovation. This chapter explores the distinction between the fixed principles of disciplines like mathematics and science, where laws are unchanging, and the fluid nature of artistic rules, which are more suggestive than binding. Art, unlike scientific formulas, thrives on its ability to evolve, shaped by cultural shifts, personal…-

Right Before Our Eyes
In Right Before Our Eyes, the chapter examines the familiar struggle of creative stagnation, a state that many artists experience at some point in their journey.

The text suggests that instead of seeing these moments as an external force halting progress, artists should recognize that they may, consciously or unconsciously, be…-

This preface introduces the essence and aims of a book designed to elucidate Henri Bergson's philosophy for the general public. Originating from two articles published in the "Revue des Deux Mondes" in February 1912, the author expands on these initial sketches by adding continuous notes for further clarification on certain points. The text is candid about its purpose: not to present a comprehensive critical analysis of Bergson's work—deemed premature given Bergson's ongoing contributions—but rather to…-

Practice
Developing a heightened awareness of one’s surroundings is an invaluable practice for artists, creatives, and individuals seeking to live with greater presence and purpose. In nature, animals focus intently on survival, their attention honed on securing food, shelter, and safety. However, for human beings, particularly those engaged in artistic pursuits, a narrow focus can sometimes be limiting rather than helpful. Creativity thrives on an expansive perspective, one that absorbs and synthesizes…-

Rather than aiming for technical perfection or universally accepted beauty, the goal of art is to communicate the artist's personal view of the world. This expression allows others to engage with the artist's inner world, experiencing emotions, thoughts, and observations that might differ from their own. It is in this distinct personal element—rather than in adherence to…-

Chapter
Point of Reference
In Point of Reference, the chapter explores how our perception of art, music, and creative expression evolves when we encounter something unfamiliar. Often, when we first engage with a new artistic work—especially one that defies convention or deviates from our past experiences—there is an immediate sense of dissonance. This reaction is rooted in the absence of a familiar frame of reference, making the work appear strange or even unappealing. Whether it’s a musician experimenting with unconventional…-
