Reflection of self esteem the picture on plastic arts

It is a very common type of study for artists to be analyzed by their works of art. What makes our study different is; this research is made through a window of their self confidence. We will open the door to these great artists' lives who are mentioned in the History of Art with marks they left on their works, works that are the reflection of their lifestyles and characters, parts or copies of their self and what they wanted to tell the world. Here, we will try to see what we call the characteristics of self confidence; their decisions, bravery, struggle with difficulties, how they coped with these difficulties, their ambition to work, how they never gave up, their confidence, power they possessed, their entrepreneurialism and finally, their success. Self confidence is a personality trait that every person wants to see in himself/herself and everyone else around. Just like human beings, community also needs people who know themselves, control their feelings, make wise decisions, live in harmony, who are reassuring, who make example with their success and show new possibilities to others. Content of this study includes; along with remembering the importance of this need; understanding how these great artists -who opened the door to a new age, thought or movement and become the guiding light to those who come after them- self confidence reflects on their works. Key Words: Reflection of self confidence on painting, artist and creativity.
