Abstract
This paper examines an approach to Karl R. Popper’s philosophical and epistemological proposition (philosophy of science), as a theoretical framework for looking at the links between literary and visual creativity. His methodological proposal is briefly reviewed, as well as the way his epistemological categories are linked to the creative process, enriching it as a cognitive instrument. Then the scope of this instrument as a tool for proving and predicting validity is explored by applying it to a particular case: the creative process that led to the creation of twenty original visual works that attempt to found some lexicographic, phonetic and meaning similarities between remote Chinese ideograms and Mayan hieroglyphs.
