artística

Artística is the feminine singular form of the adjective artistic in Spanish and Portuguese. It denotes relation to art, the arts, or an artistic quality, and it can describe people, works, styles, or movements. The masculine form is artístico, and the plural forms are artísticos (masc) and artísticas (fem). The term derives from the noun arte (art) and from Latin ars, artis, entering Romance languages through regular adjective formation.

In everyday use, artística appears across a variety of contexts to signal creativity, aesthetics, or art-related activities. In Spanish, it is found in expressions such as expresiones artísticas, vida artística, o sector artístico. In Portuguese, common collocations include artes visuais, artes cênicas, movimento artístico, and vida artística. The word is frequent in cultural criticism, education, and media to denote qualities tied to artistic production or appreciation.

Grammatically, artístico and artística agree with the noun they modify in gender and number (artística, artistas artísticas, estilos artísticos). Related terms include arte (art), artístico, artes (arts), and, in Portuguese, artes visuais and artes cênicas, while in Spanish, terms such as las artes y lo artístico appear in discourse. Artística thus operates as a flexible descriptor for visual, performing, and other creative domains within both languages.
