Morphology

artistic + sphere

The phrase's meaning ('the domain or field of art') is directly and transparently derived from combining 'artistic' (related to art) with 'sphere' (an area or domain). This adjective + noun composition follows common English patterns and similar constructions exist cross-linguistically, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents should readily understand it.

Etymology

Artistic sphere paints the picture of a round space where artists and ideas meet, with artistic meaning 'about art' and sphere meaning 'a space' or 'world'. That's why it means 'the area or field of art'.
