Alexis and Pablo Signori, a creativity expert and seasoned working artist, explore the many applications of creativity - and how you can unlock yours.
Together, they tackle the concept of creativity, asserting it's an inherent human ability that can be cultivated, rather than a trait you were born with or lack entirely. They explore the idea and nature of creativity, its relevance beyond traditional art forms, and how to foster it in everyday life and work.
The dialogue touches upon personal experiences as they speak about the value of creativity in a professional context, perspectives on art, and the importance of practice and open-mindedness. They also explore strategies to help you unlock your own creative potential.
