Summary/Abstract: This paper explores in depth the duality between divine and artistic inspiration, highlighting that, although different in origin and purpose, both forms of inspiration share a transcendental nature that exceeds the limits of ordinary human experience. Divine inspiration, rooted in divine revelation and God’s communication with humanity, and artistic inspiration, anchored in the inner creative processes of the artist, often intersect, emphasizing art’s ability to communicate aspects of spiritual experience. The paper argues that these two forms of inspiration are not exclusive, but can coexist and interpenetrate, offering a unique perspective on the relationship between divine, human and artistic creation.
