Artists find their subjects by using their ideas or their senses. Their sources of inspiration can likewise be employed as themes. Artists are their own source in the broadest sense. Everyone perceives life through their senses, and the patterns are stored with emotional content (this is a recent field of research in brain activity). New sensations are sometimes confused with old ones, yet they are there to be triggered when the artist requires them. Artists' preferred subjects are essentially their own business. Many people struggle to explain why they do what they do. What they represent is frequently determined by their comfort with particular mediums or a hidden skill.
