Creativity Decoded

"Creativity is a nonverbal language. An expression of the often ephemeral nature of a vision, a story or idea. Where it originates has always fascinated me,  as I believe we are just conduits for its manifestation." - Eric Zener (Painter)

The Five Stages of Grief. Nayyirah Waheed. 2013 "There is no healthier drug than creativity."  - Nayyirah Waheed  (Writer/Artist/Photographer)

"Creativity elevates my experience of the world   and helps me to make sense of it." - Peter Kappus (Artist/Musician/Creator of Abstraktor Project )

"Creativity for me has always been about the process. It's letting your mind wander and opening your eyes. Throwing stuff at the wall to see what sticks. Having and expressing a point of view in whatever medium you choose. Of course none of that matters if you don't make something." - Ike Edeani (Photographer/Former Architect)

"Creativity is doing what comes naturally. Putting in the work. Connecting the dots.  Going with your gut. Enjoying the process. Making ideas real." - Vaughn Fender (designer/illustrator)

"Creativity is freeing the curious child in you to go out and explore, to discover something shiny and new. Not everyone will appreciate how special what you find is straight away, and why should they! They may have seen or found something similar themselves, before you did. But if you keep going out, learning the route and finding new things, to keep, to play and to mould with, then one day you'll have a big collection of shiny things that will catch a lot of people's eyes, that only you could have found." "Creativity is its own reward when passion and focus are applied" -  Arteh Odjidja (Photographer/Art Director)

"Creativity is the power of creation. Creating something new and original. Something that wasn't in this world before. It could be an idea, an object, an image, anything.  Everyone creates and everyone could be creative." -  Anabella López (illustrator)
