Creativity Decoded

"Creativity, for me, arises from inspiration. A deeply affecting experience draws an expression out of me. Our individual (and constantly evolving) perceptions of the world give rise to creative possibilities that are at once unique and infinite. It's exciting!"  -  Zaria Forman (Artist)

“For me creativity is playing around with ideas that pop up in my  head and trying  to turn them into something real. Even if it’s something as virtual as code.  The creative act is also among the most satisfying things humans can do.” - Jerome Herr (homo creativus)

"For me, it's not about wanting but just being..it's not about seeking but just walking. I'm attempting to fail every time just to get a glimpse of clarity. If I'm successful at being open and sensitive, the creativity finds me, and it usually shows me way more than I could have ever imagined. " - Andre Wagner (Photographer)

" Creativity is creating something new. It often involves problem solving to make the solution work based on a set of constraints for an individual projects needs. Often these ideas/solutions come out of making unique & interesting connections between things or showing things in a new perspective." - Jessica Walsh (multidisciplinary designer/art director/co-founder of  Sagmeister & Walsh ) " Creativity is the ability to generate an idea, either completely fresh or an interesting combination of existing concepts and the competence to have that idea executed and made real. " - Stefan Sagmeister (designer/co-founder of  Sagmeister & Walsh )

"Creativity establishes new and meaningful contextual relations." -  Fabian Bürgy (Sculptor/Independent Digital Creative)

"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)
