Summary/Abstract: In his theory, Howard Gardner states the fact that humans possess a mosaic of intelligence. In the organization of every human being’s personality, the verbal-linguistic, logical-mathematical, naturalistic, musical-rhythmic, corporal-kinesthetic, visual-spatial, interpersonal and intrapersonal intelligences build a combinatorial structure in varying proportions. Conditioned by the genetic material inherited from their ancestors, gifted with a mixture of intelligences, blessed with certain talents and modeled by the sociocultural environment in which they live, every human has the possibility to demonstrate their skills to others. Although the social environment has been unfavorable to them, their actions have not been fully understood by their contemporaries, even though critics judged them by the patterns of those times, and the mentalities of simple individuals were refractory to innovation, and yet the talents of the creative people were remarkably valued. Despite the obstacles posed by the envious, against material deprivation and health problems, those who subscribe to the archetype of the Creator managed to become famous, as they believed in their inner strength, they persevered in work, and they submitted to a way of live which was characterized by rigorous discipline, absolutely necessary for their personal mastery and mission. Chico Xavier, Gustav Klimt, Coco Chanel, Constantin Brâncuși excelled, as they exercised their many intelligences and they followed their dreams, their ideals and the thread of Ariadne, who took them out of the labyrinth of anonymity. Despite the financial shortcomings they went through, the familial and sentimental problems, the creativity and talents of the artists came out victorious, right into the center light, making our world more beautiful.
