The way I see it is that it's not they have to be broken or suffer per se, but that they have to live and that comes as a by-product (but not the only one). To express and channel creation that approaches the divine they have to live a life of exploring both worlds: the external and the internal.

How can one borrow or channel the act of creation from God to create worlds, moments and feelings without having seen or experienced a variety of them? Without having lived?

Suffering and brokenness is just part of the depth of living that tends to produce great art. So is happiness and wholesomeness though.

Gosh. Have so much to say about this.

I’ll start simply with as a young artist it’s important to make whatever it is you’re doing with very little assistance. That art if successful should be on the merits of your talent as a young artist.

To answer your question directly no, but it depends on a number of different factors, scenarios, situations and whether you as an artist believe the creations you create are limiting you.

Most of the best artists that have ever lived worked on many different mediums because they did not let their own mind box their creativity in including their own suffering instead they offered it up to God. That’s the unlock. 🔓

It could be more like: you want to DO it so badly, even if you are suffering.

no, hashtag Madex.

Also, Grok tells me: Michelangelo, Rembrandt, da Vinci

Great art can't come from people living charmed lives.

Artists have to have hope to make great art

Brokenness is in us innately.

I couldn't say that it's something necessary, but it is true that many talented artists at some point in their lives have suffered quite a bit, and have known how to channel their emotion through their art, achieving great results.

well, you have to be broken in order to experience the unusual therefore to see wt others barely witness. let me tell you someting: a year ago i found my self realy depressing it was a mental state after te loss of my father after two months i loved that state of being in the shell to reflect on simple ting details people may not consider quite important and write whatever come to my mind let it be a poet or a short story and after a while when i read it honestly i felt shocked how good it was not only me but my friends as well found some of these poems good ones. so to say it all, to e broken is to feel things in a deeper level tat spark a fire that of which will ignite the inspiration you have always seek.
