Examining artist's self and creative process from the trauma perspective

No matter which perspective you take, it is impossible to develop a consideration of art without humans. A person using their senses, motions and mind, expresses their subjective reality. Expression of the aforementioned subjective reality, is made possible only by humanity focusing on itself, and removing the concept of "I" from the deific order, while giving it its autonomy. Henceforth, subject should work on "self", and is responsible for rendering their life meaningful through individual methods they develop. Angst of self, which means an individual focusing on their own approach and activities, encompasses that individual's every act towards attaining self-completion or self-figuration. Aside from having practical characteristics, a work of art is also comprised of objects, which are shaped and internalized via artist's spirituality and processes. As traumatic events, which happen interacting with the world outside, also affect one's inner world. Feeding off of one's immanent nature and imagination, creativity symbolizes the objects of the outside world as well as the inner world. This study aims to explain how and why the artist's traumas are visible through his/her artistic production, while supporting this premise by offering examples of such artists.
