Summary/Abstract: Nature is the artist's greatest inspiration, and nature and humans are the dominant elements of art in the creative process. In addition, it is known that great artists benefit from the artworks of their pioneers and borrow the elements they need. In other words, during the formation process of an artwork, the artist chooses another work as the starting point. The artist determines what and how to get it according to his/her own needs. The artist interprets the artwork he/she has chosen as his inspiration according to his own artistic processing. In painting, it is difficult to determine how long the artists have chosen a work made before him/her as a source of inspiration. In painting, it is difficult to determine how long the artists have chosen an artwork made before him as a source of inspiration. Repetitions before contemporary art, even modern art, are mainly in the direction of the master-apprentice relationship. With the appreciation of the success of his/her predecessor or another artist in his/her time, the artist goes to it to analyse it and use it more educationally.
