In the New Renaissance, we get to start over. We get to reinvent and re-create ourselves as much as is necessary, without sticking to a particular path for too long if it doesn’t suit our creative needs. Our first job as artists, then, is to venture out, away from what we think we know in search of the new and unexplored. Great artists do this their entire lives, never staying stuck in a single style even when it brings wealth and fame. We must always be striving to reinvent ourselves, continuing to build on who we are and what we’ve done.
