description I propose a reflection about how a creator does research in the field of visual arts, based on an experience derived from my own investigative and creative path during the doctoral pursuit, and in contrast with my experience in creative processes as a professional artist. Among the transformations that are in play today, also there is the willing to give back the meaning to the concept of knowledge, which would be interwoven to what we are. Knowledge would mean, first of all but not exclusively, a self-awareness, a self-transforming experience that in one way or another can make us "wiser" (more prudent, in the sense of the Aristotelian phronesis). In that sense, perhaps it could be said that to be a Doctor should not only mean to master the methods of the anonymous enterprise that is science; but also, and especially, it means to accomplish a self-transformative experience. To become a Doctor should also mean to reach a certain kind of virtue, to have been transformed from a certain kind of person into a better one.

I propose a reflection about how a creator does research in the field of visual arts, based on an experience derived from my own investigative and creative path during the doctoral pursuit, and in contrast with my experience in creative processes as a professional artist. Among the transformations that are in play today, also there is the willing to give back the meaning to the concept of knowledge, which would be interwoven to what we are. Knowledge would mean, first of all but not exclusively, a self-awareness, a self-transforming experience that in one way or another can make us "wiser" (more prudent, in the sense of the Aristotelian phronesis). In that sense, perhaps it could be said that to be a Doctor should not only mean to master the methods of the anonymous enterprise that is science; but also, and especially, it means to accomplish a self-transformative experience. To become a Doctor should also mean to reach a certain kind of virtue, to have been transformed from a certain kind of person into a better one.  Desde la experiencia derivada del propio camino investigativo y creativo adelantado durante la formación doctoral, en contraste con lo que implica realizar procesos de creación en el marco de mi práctica profesional como artista, propongo una reflexión sobre cómo investiga un/a creador/a en el campo de las artes visuales. Entre las transformaciones que están en juego hoy, está también la de volver a darle significado a una forma de conocimiento que esté entretejido a lo que somos, donde conocer signifique, primero que todo, aunque no exclusivamente, autoconocimiento, una transformación de sí, una experiencia, que de una u otra manera pueda hacernos más “sabios” (más prudentes, en el sentido de la phronesis aristotélica). Y en ese sentido, tal vez también pueda decirse que ser “doctor/a” no solo tiene que significar dominar los métodos de investigación propios de esa empresa anónima que es la ciencia, sino también, y sobre todo, lograr una experiencia que lo transforme a uno. Ser “doctor/a” debería también significar haber alcanzado cierto tipo de “virtud”, haberse transformado en cierto tipo de persona, de mejor persona.
