“The Power of Creativity”: Part II

Digital collage artwork titled 'Power of Creativity II' by Gwena Dye Pringle of Eternal Escapade, featuring a surreal composition of a woman's head and shoulders in black and white with her brain opened to reveal miniature figures, vintage machinery, and industrial elements with orange accent colors. This meaningful artwork by the St Paul artist explores themes of creativity and morality through retro futurist art aesthetics, combining vintage inspired art elements with contemporary digital collage techniques. The piece serves as the feminine counterpart to 'Power of Creativity I,' showcasing Eternal Escapade's experimental art style of blending human anatomy with mechanical and fantastical elements to visualize a meaningful concept.

Art and science, two themes I interpreted as important elements of this “Science Wonder Stories” poster, are saturated with creativity. Both require imagination and vision - an artist to conjure new visuals and a scientist to hypothesize. A scientist without creativity is an observer, and an artist without it is a swindler. At its core, problem-solving is creativity.

I believe that humans have an innate ability to be creative because we are made in the image of a creative God. But what happens when imperfect humans decide what is and is not a problem that needs a creative solution? That is the very question I chose to ask in “The Power of Creativity I” and subsequently its partner piece “The Power of Creativity II.” 


There is so much potential in a blank canvas or an unasked question. But will the user decide to create a message of love or one of hate? Will an inventor use their skills to create a tool for humanity or a weapon of destruction? 


Following this logic leads one to ask the inevitable question, “So what is good and evil?” And to that, the only answer I know would be from our Creator himself, who declared, “I am the way and the truth and the life...” (John 14:6) So that is how I dictate the ways in which I use my creativity -whether it is honoring to God and loving to my fellow man or not.
