ABSTRACT
The purpose of this study was to test the relationship between thought and performance in art in plastic artists, family loneliness and romantic loneliness and their influence on social loneliness, this because there is a well-known myth in the world of the arts as in painting, where exceptional artists reach their full development in contexts of social loneliness, the study aims to validate a model of causal relationship, taking into account the context, characterized by social isolation. The study comprises two phases, firstly, an exploratory factor analysis using the IBM-SPSS, secondly, for the confirmatory analysis, the PLS-SEM methodology was used, which is a multivariate method called, Modeling of Structural Equations with Least Partial Squares. The model was validated with a sample of 157 artists in visual arts from the Arequipa, Cusco, Tacna, Moquegua and Lima regions of Peru. The study would reveal causal relationships between independent variables such as thought and performance in art, family loneliness and romantic loneliness in social loneliness as a dependent variable, experienced by the artists studied. © 2021 IEEE.
