Art is bigger than the artist because it outlives them. Artists are temporary, but their work can last forever, influencing generations beyond their own time. An artist is just one person with their own experiences, biases, and limits. Art, on the other hand, is an evolving conversation—it connects people, carries culture, and sparks change. Think about Van Gogh. The guy died broke and unknown, but his work reshaped how we see color and emotion in painting. His art became more than him. Same with music, literature, fashion—once the art is out there, it’s no longer just the artist’s; it belongs to the world. That’s why art is more important. The artist matters, but the art is what truly lives.
