In English we define a/an as indefinite articles. Because they define indefinite objects. For example when we say;

an apple -> We don’t know which apple. Because a/an are indefinite pronouns.

However “the” is the definite pronoun. We use it with definite nouns.

For example;  He was the first artist at the exhibition. We now know which was the first artist.
