This is a list of people who do art for the sake of art. People who did not care about fame, meeting quotas, or chasing commercial success. These are individuals who poured their hearts into their craft, driven only by a passion for creation and an unyielding dedication to their art. They worked not for recognition, but because the act of creating was intrinsic to their very being, a form of personal expression and a pursuit of beauty in its purest form.
