Creatives, whether they be painters, writers or performers, have a lot in common. Connected by self-expression, the best projects come together when different individuals with their own artistic expertise work together. However, the art that we chose to practice often falls in line with aspects of our personality; and as a result, there are there are a few common tropes that can affect these relationships, for better or worse. Here are a few of them!
What your Chosen Art Form Says About You
Sep 15, 2026
If you are a Writer...
You are deeply perceptive of the world around you. It might be that you are captured by reality, wanting to share your experiences with others through your writing. Or you might prefer setting your writing in fantasy worlds which are far different (and maybe even better!) than our own. You are empathetic, and a deep thinker. As a result, you often find yourself bored by small talk, preferring meaningful conversation – something that comes very naturally to you. Bear in mind that others might take a little longer to meet you on your level. Remember to be patient, and you will be a crucial part of any project!
If you are a Painter…
You have no problem finding the beauty in the world around you, even in things that others might find boring. You are patient and understanding of the fact that the most rewarding projects, like all good things in life, can take time. Your perspective is often sought after by loved ones and friends, who appreciate your input and compassion. Bear in mind, though, that you tend to see things differently to your peers. Try to remain empathetic and open to seeing things from different perspectives – your vision will inspire those around you!
If you are a Performer…
You are outgoing and extroverted. You tend to feed off collaboration, feeling inspired by others and do your best work in environments where people are treated as equals. Others gravitate towards you, admiring your energy and enthusiasm. You like to dream big, always thinking of ways to make ideas bigger and better. However, those who don’t match your energy might see you as dramatic. Try to take criticism constructively and understand where others are coming from. But stay true to yourself – your passion, when used right, is a huge strength!
