Artist

a person who practises one or more liberal arts

The word artist refers to those people who exert one or more liberal arts as their profession or at a professional level.

In their creations the artist communicates and expresses themselves through the use of techniques devised by other experts who excel in the artistic fields, or techniques that they have invented by themselves.

The experience of the artists, who traditionally are those who performs their work essentially in painting and sculpture, can however expand and find applications or interactions in many other fields among which is music, performing, architecture, and design. Consequently the artist's choices in delineating and describing objects have always influenced the design productions of the manufacturing industry.

An artist can perform in two different classification fields: the contemporary and modern one, which is bound to the applicative policies that were generated for the art field towards the end of 1800, and the classic one that conforms with one or more branches of classic art.
