Abstract
Objectives In this study, the influence of visual artists' personality traits on psychological well-being through creative environment risk factors was analyzed.
 Methods To this end, 75 visual artists who have been active at least one solo exhibition for at least three years after sending a text message explaining the purpose of this study to an account searched for ‘Western painter, artist, solo exhibition, painter, Korean painter’ on SNS An online survey was conducted with participation. Therefore, in the regression analysis model, personality characteristics as independent variables, creative environment risk factors as parameters, and psychological well-being as dependent variables were selected.
 Results It was found that the general characteristics of visual artists were not significant in psychological well-being. However, among the personality traits, extroversion and conscientiousness were found to have an effect on the level of psychological well-being. In addition, it was found that the lower the role ambiguity, a sub-factor of creative environment risk factors, the higher the level of psychological well-being, and the other sub-factors were found to have little influence in explaining the level of psychological well-being. In particular, role ambiguity was found to have a complete mediating effect on psychological well-being along with extraversion, and a partial mediating role on psychological well-being along with conscientiousness, and the Sobel test result showed that the effect was significant.
 Conclusions Based on high extroversion and conscientiousness, it was found that visual artists function as members of society by achieving psychological well-being through self-acceptance, autonomy, and life purpose despite the risk factors in the creative environment. However, due to the nature of creative work, it is suggested that role guidelines are ambiguous and the scope of responsibility is not clear, which can hinder psychological well-being.
