Creativity Quote by Barbara Januszkiewicz

Spare, upbeat, and almost slogan-clean, Barbara Januszkiewicz’s line reads like an artist’s studio credo trimmed down to its essential gears: creativity as the ignition, ideas as the engine, change as the destination. The repetition isn’t accidental. By looping the word “inspires,” she frames creativity less as a lightning bolt and more as a relay race, a process of transmission. That matters culturally because it pushes back on the romantic myth of the solitary genius. Creative thinking isn’t presented as a personality trait you either have or don’t; it’s a practice that produces something portable: ideas.

The subtext is an argument for stakes. Plenty of people treat “ideas” as aesthetic ornaments - clever, interesting, easily contained in galleries, classrooms, or mood boards. Januszkiewicz insists that ideas want to move. “Change” is the quietly provocative endpoint here: not self-expression, not beauty, not even innovation for its own sake, but consequence. Coming from an artist, that’s a subtle refusal of the old cultural bargain where art is allowed to be daring as long as it remains safely symbolic. She’s mapping a pipeline from imagination to impact.

Contextually, a working artist born in 1955 comes of age in a world that increasingly demands justification: what does art do, who does it serve, why does it matter amid crises? This quote answers without defensiveness. It’s not a manifesto; it’s a prompt. If you want change, start upstream, where thinking gets weird enough to become new.
