Yantra de Vilder | In Search of the Artistic Moment The journey to the artistic moment is one that has woven itself through Dr. Yantra de Vilder's life, from the early days of exploring sound and vision to the intricate tapestry of collaborative art projects.
This installation is both a reflection and a meditation on those moment. It’s also an invitation – to artists, dreamers, thinks and creators – to notice, nurture and recognize that space when it arrives.
De Vilder invites you to participate in an exploration of creativity, focussing on meaningful experiences that extend beyond conventional boundaries in the hope that this journey will inspire you.
The book
In Search of the Artistic Moment by Yantra de Vilder is written for artists, makers and all those with creative souls.
It is a book that considers what it means to live creatively in a noisy, accelerated world. It speaks to all of us who feel deeply, who notice beauty in unexpected places, and who understand that creativity is as much about observing as it is about expression.
Moving between music, art, memory and lived experience, these reflections offer reassurance rather than instruction – permission rather than prescription. It reminds us that creativity can belong to anyone willing to listen, learn and remain open.
A compelling and quietly resonant read for anyone interested in the deeper rhythms that underpin creative practice and human experience.
Some books instruct.
This one listens.
