Defining oneself as an artist

The speaker shares the challenge of introducing oneself due to the unconventional career of being an artist. They mention being torn between simply stating 'artist' or diving into a discussion by explaining the deeper meaning behind 'Tyrion'. Attending art school is described as a training ground to nurture creativity and imagination, yet the speaker highlights the lack of clear job opportunities post-graduation, as the field of fine arts is not commonly sought after in the job market.
