Creators need a constant source of inspiration in art. Sight, visual impressions and words have played an important role in creation since prehistoric times. Some well-known artists, such as the poet Miklós Radnóti or the painter Tivadar Csontváry Kosztka, were often inspired by nature. This time, contemporary creators from the fields of literature, slam poetry, visual arts and fashion demonstrated how they can transcend time and distance and turn their source of inspiration into a work of art through digital freedom.
