Find Your Source of Inspiration

Last week marked the exhilarating Miami Art Week and Art Basel in Miami Beach—an event I look forward to each year. The energy is palpable as people from around the globe converge, creating a vibrant (sometimes chaotic) atmosphere. My passion for the arts is rekindled each time, fueling my creativity.

In fact, a visit to MoMA in NYC a few years back sparked the inspiration for the backdrop of my keynote presentations, a nod to the geometric genius of Dutch painter Piet Mondrian .

Reflecting on the recent Miami Art Week, my role as a Forbes contributor granted me access to the press opening of Scope . This exhibition is an annual highlight, staged within a sprawling white tent on the sands of Miami Beach with a view of the ocean. A consistent presence there is Max Zorn , another Dutch artist, whose work diverges significantly from Mondrian's. Zorn's unique artistry doesn't involve paint and a brush; he uses packing tape and a scalpel.

• Soar

You need to hear Zorn's story and see his work to understand why it is truly unique. Check out this fascinating Max Zorn interview from CBS Sunday Morning.

When I saw this spot when it aired in 2017, I thought, “Wow he’s clever.” But I never expected to see his work up close. Then, when I saw it at Scope, I was blown away.
