Artist vs. Inventor

While there are many similarities between an artist and an inventor, there may be some aspects that separate the two. It is important to note that one individual can be both an artist an inventor, such as Leonardo DaVinci.

In my opinion, the two terms can be interchangeable, but the word artist can be defined as producing a piece of work, or art. It could also be that one has a specific skillset, such as painting, drawing or sculpture, that they can create or reproduce.

An inventor can be defined slightly differently as one who creates an original process, rather than a piece or multiple pieces that demonstrate a certain skill, as an artist would.

An artist's priority can be themselves, using art as an expression of some sort, but an inventor must serve the general public in some way. The art an artist produces can influence a larger group, but that may not be the original purpose as an invention is.
