The present qualitative study examined the experiences of two eminent artists. The Talent Development Megamodel guided analysis of data, which included autobiographical materials, creative products, and socio-political public discourse. The study sheds light on the role of cultural context within the Megamodel while illuminating the creative aspect of the arts and its deviation from a predicted trajectory.
