"Alicia Keys"

Art Journey

Alicia Keys shares her newfound appreciation for art, a journey that began with a realization of a "blind spot" in her life. She recounts meeting artists like Jordan Castile and Amy Sherald, whose works have inspired her to explore the art world more deeply 1. Alicia's journey is not just about viewing art but understanding the stories and processes behind it, which she finds fascinating 2.

I met a bunch of artists this summer and I kept saying, I have this crazy blind spot in my life, which is I never appreciated art in a way or I never understood it. I never spent the time.

Her exploration has led to a deeper connection with art, as she learns about the artists' lives and the context of their creations.

   

Art's Impact

Art has profoundly impacted Alicia Keys, influencing both her personal and creative life. She emphasizes the importance of developing one's own taste in art, rather than relying on others' opinions 3. This personal journey has been enriched by her husband, who shares her passion and has an uncanny ability to identify emerging artists 4.

My husband really is an incredible lover of art, and he has an uncanny ability to really identify artists that are going to be, you know, the next, next and the next.

Together, they have become custodians of art, supporting and showcasing new talents through their collection.
