“Serendipity is the way to make discoveries, by accident but also by sagacity, of things one is not in quest of. Based on experience, knowledge, it is the creative exploitation of the unforeseen.”
Adrian bejan
It is often said that art imitates life, and just like life, art can surprise and delight us in unexpected ways. Serendipitous moments can provide artists with inspiration, influence their creative process, and even shape the final outcome of their work into something beautiful, bizarre, and remarkably unique.
Serendipity is the spark that ignites inspiration.
