Transcendental phenomenology applied to research in artistic creation: the creation of portraits as research
Abstract
Investigating the creative process is a challenge faced by art-based research. Few studies have sought to reveal the complexity involved in the artistic creation process. The research presented below is an example of how to approach the world of artistic creation in order to analyze and understand it. To this end, a transcendental phenomenological study was conducted during the creation of two portraits of a young woman named Irene. The study began with an in-depth analysis of Irene's identity using semi-structured interviews, followed by the creation of reflective journals that captured the transcendental phenomenological processes associated with the creation of Irene's portraits. The value of this research lies in the fact that its results specifically show the analysis carried out on the process of artistic creation, opening, to some extent, the “black box” that encloses the magic of the creative process.
