artistic muse
Source of inspiration
An artistic muse is a person who inspires creative work—typically someone whose presence, personality, or beauty sparks an artist's imagination.
The term draws on the Greek Muses, goddesses who presided over arts and sciences.
A muse may be a romantic partner, friend, or even stranger: She was Picasso's muse for years.
The relationship implies the artist draws sustained creative energy from the other person, though the muse's role may be passive or active.
