self-taught artist
A self-taught artist is someone who learns to create art without formal education or training in art schools or institutions. They often develop their skills through personal exploration, experimentation, and practice. Many self-taught artists draw inspiration from various sources, including nature, culture, and their own experiences.
These artists may work in different mediums, such as painting, sculpture, or digital art. Notable self-taught artists include Vincent van Gogh and Georgia O'Keeffe, who both made significant contributions to the art world despite lacking traditional training. Their unique perspectives often lead to innovative and original works.
