People who are dedicated to creating beauty know many ways to overcome the creative crisis. Perhaps the best advice on where to look for inspiration is not to wait for it, but to go in search of yourself.
In nature
It is scary to imagine how many world masterpieces of art one could lose if the creators did not turn to nature for help! To this day, artists are ready to rush to unknown distances in order to gather with colleagues at the next open air. Although not all artists are eager to change places to create another masterpiece. For example, the great composer Edvard Grieg, until the end of his days, was tirelessly impressed by the native expanses of Norway, and this can be easily seen in most of his works.
Traveling
A change of scenery, acquaintance with a new culture and traditions of residents of other countries can serve as a good inspiration for those who do not know how to overcome creative stagnation. Perhaps, only to Paris with its architectural monuments, mankind owes the coffin of its life for those cultural values that arose after a visit there of certain persons.
In love and loved ones
Love is such a powerful stimulus to creativity that it can not only return lost inspiration, but also give it to someone who never possessed it and did not suffer from it at all. And if the characters of our days, inspired by love, begin to scribble poetry with enthusiasm, from which any of the greatest will turn green, then what can we say about the people who have devoted their whole lives to this craft.
In art
Perhaps great works are great because they have the ability to exert such a strong influence on the human mind, pushing inspired persons to further creation. For example, the creative legacy of William Shakespeare in absentia sought to get into such a number of works by various authors that it even resulted in a separate movement called "Shakespeareism".
However, the work of some figures was based on the works of little-known and unrecognized by anyone. For example, John Lennon once worked, inspired by the "canvas" of his little son.
In random
If your search for inspiration turned out to be fruitless, you should try to take a closer look at your everyday environment. Things that can inspire sometimes seem so incredible that they don't always get the attention they deserve. Salvador Dali confirmed this many years ago with the example of his "Persistence of Memory", inspired to write a canvas by looking at an ordinary melted cheese.
If inspiration is still not there and is not expected, there is no need to attach any importance to this. The famous "Black Square" by Malevich, written, as one of the legends says, without any inspiration by the artist, angry at the fact that he does not have time to deliver the painting on time, will help to overcome all worries about this. Having covered up the hastily unfinished work, the artist gave the world a great picture and received recognition.
