artista
Gallery exhibition subject
Artista is Spanish and Italian for artist, borrowed into English primarily in contexts involving Latin American or Mediterranean arts.
It often carries a sense of flair or dramatic temperament: She's a true artista.
The word sometimes appears ironically for someone being overly theatrical or precious about their creative process.
