What is the Greek word for artist?

There isn't one single perfect translation for "artist" in Greek, as the best word depends on the specific type of artist. However, some common options include:

* τέχνης (téchnis): This refers to "art" or "craft," and can be used broadly to describe an artist, especially one skilled in a particular craft. You might say someone is a "τέχνης" (a person of art/craft).

* καλλιτέχνης (kallitexnis): This is probably the closest single word and is generally understood to mean "artist," especially in the fine arts context (painting, sculpture, etc.).

* δημιουργός (dēmiourgós): This means "creator" and is a good choice if you want to emphasize the creative process. It's suitable for a wide range of artists, but it might be too broad depending on the context.

The best word to use will depend on the context. For most situations, καλλιτέχνης (kallitexnis) is a safe and accurate choice.
