The Secret of the Creative Mind - Golden Ratio

By: Harry Tilley

Some of us might wonder why certain people possess such immense creativity. Where do they find the inspiration to create beautiful things out of nothing? Whether it’s a painting that holds your gaze, a sculpture you long to own, or forged metalwork that captivates you; how do they shape these materials so beautifully?

My Philosophical Thought

My thought is that people with high creative potential have a highly developed creative side in their brains, allowing them to work instinctively with the Fibonacci Golden Ratio.

The "Golden Angle" (approximately 137.5°) is the angle that divides a circle according to the Golden Ratio. In nature, we see this angle everywhere: in petals, seeds, and sepals. Thus, the human eye, guided by the brain, perceives an object as "beautiful" when these proportions are present.

I believe creative people have an innate ability to apply this formula manually—bending, painting, or shaping their creations according to this universal law.
