Art is invention

And vice versa

Be alone, that is the secret of invention; be alone, that is when ideas are born.

Nikola Tesla

That is when you are forced to think for yourself. That is when your mind is free of influences, opinions, techniques, and conditioning. Take time to detach from social media, dinner dates, phone calls, etc. Sit with yourself and get to know who you are when all that other rubbish isn’t at play, then you can really find yourself. Creativity is creating beyond the scope of influence, thereby conjuring things only you’ve thought of is where art is born, in other words, invention.
