SXSW Session Report #58: Tips for Reclaiming Your Creative Inner Child
SXSW Session Report #58: Tips for Reclaiming Your Creative Inner Child
Today I attended a talk session with artist Leo Torres. He spoke about how he deliberately weaves a childlike, playful quality into his work — and how that sense of whimsy is part of what makes it so compelling. He also talked about nurturing his inner child and how he's always searching for things that genuinely delight him. He shared stories behind his various projects, including the time he happened to be at a grocery store when a manager offered him a gig on the spot. He also talked about a designer who made one of his favorite jackets, and the story behind both the jacket and the person who created it.
Torres emphasized that holding onto a childlike playfulness is essential, and that even as adults, we must not close off our creative hearts. He keeps searching for things that bring him joy — and that spirit, he explained, flows directly into his work.

The talk session offered a close look at Torres's projects and his way of thinking — a genuine encounter with his creativity.
Leo Torres believes that infusing your work with a childlike, spontaneous energy is not just nice to have — it's essential.
He teaches that it's important to keep seeking things that bring you joy, and to find ways to express yourself creatively in how you engage with the world.
Never Lose Touch with the Child Inside You
Leo's view is that in both work and life, the key to success is never losing touch with your inner child — and continuing to pursue creativity and joy no matter what.
