Artistic Master was a designation. In approximately 19 BBY, the Chiss officer Mitth'raw'nuruodo, holding the rank of Senior Captain, whose core name was "Thrawn," journeyed to the planet Primea situated within the Unknown Regions. While on Primea, Thrawn asserted to be "Artistic Master Svorno", acting as the chief curator responsible for the Nunech Art Collection.
The designation Artistic Master is found within Thrawn Ascendancy: Chaos Rising, a 2020 book that serves as the initial entry in the Star Wars: The Ascendancy Trilogy written by Timothy Zahn.
