Ignore the "to live" part. That was not the original. The origianl was "to paint". It's a question from a fan to an artist. He knows me but we're not friends. And this is not a question being asked in a written manner.

I mean, it IS to be asked in a written manner.
And he's not obligated to answer. He can choose to ignore it.

The question itself is perfectly fine. But ...
Depending on the tone of voice, the emphasis, and non-verbal hints it can be intrusive.
Assuming you are the artist and a fan asked you this your description evokes the impression of somebody who was trying through questions like this to get too close for your liking. And it is perfectly fine to refuse to share such very personal information.
If you intend this question in writing and you are the fan, I suggest a different approach. Start with how much you like his work and that you are interested in better understanding it. Then you can ask about his inspiration and if he has a dream or imaginary place to paint. This way your question still can be interpreted as intrusive and therefore not answered, but it looses the nosy quality it might have by itself.

It shows you're interested to know and get the image of what it is like in his fantasy.
It's rude if upon finding out you will belittle him and make a total fool out of him.
It's impolite if you judge his identity based on his ideals that may not reach your standard of expectation for example.
Those issues are for some people delicate matters so always be sensible.

it's not a question, but a demand. And demands are not typically thought of as polite especially if there is no obligation to respond to them. If an interviewer asked me that I would answer, but if a stranger asked, I'd reply "Why do you need to know?" and eventually tell them it's none of their business (this is of course assuming the worst tone and my worst mood)

did not you get the memo ? the position shall i bypass out of your spirit? or the position shall I flee out of your presence? If I ascend up into heaven, you're there: if I make my mattress in hell, behold, you're there. If I take the wings of the morning, and live in the uttermost factors of the sea; Even there shall your hand lead me, and your precise hand shall carry me. If I say, easily the darkness shall cover me; even the nighttime will be mild about me. Psalm 139:7-eleven there is not any get away from God... and there is NONE that may furnish our of His hand! : ) Yea, previously the day became, i'm He; and no individual promises out of My hand; i visit artwork, and who will opposite it? Isa 40 3:13

I don't think that it's rude, per se. I'm confused, though, as to what your question is asking. Maybe some people are bitter at your question for the confusion they face by trying to answer it.

Well, techincally no. If the dream/imaginary place were too personal for the person to describe or talk about, it should't be considered rude!

Sounds good to me. I would enjoy someone asking me that question-not rude at all!

I don't know how I could get offended by that, but maybe others might keep their dreams a secret?
