Edvard Munch (1863-1944) "Love and Pain" (1895) Oil on canvas Expressionism Located in the Munch Museum, Oslo, Norway The painting shows a woman with long flame-red hair kissing a man on the neck, as the couple embrace. Although others have seen in it "a man locked in a vampire's tortured embrace – her molten-red hair running along his soft bare skin," Munch himself always claimed it showed nothing more than "just a woman kissing a man on the neck."

There are certain songs, and books, and films that are like points of high ground in the memory. Like they are even larger than your own experiences. They never go away.

Why do you make your art ❤️

When I look at the stars, it feels like something awakens from within the deep confinement from my chest. A feeling that I can not fathom to explain as purely as it feels or explain just how tremendous that emotion is and how it encompasses all that I feel in its expanse as if being held in its hands. It is somewhere between bliss and an ache, like nostalgia but pain; its like memories you have never lived and if you have, some are your own while some vicarious, but regardless it feels like everything will be okay but a question remains about the future. How many times have people laid under the same sky or even looked at it and felt so much and pondered about the same things. How many souls from the past have learnt to live under this sky. It is like seeing hope glimmer bright enough to blind you yet guide you in the most breathtaking way. The night sky in its velvet vastness hides behind a veil with so much to uncover, which is much like our souls and the layers that are to the human mind and existence. To our amazement and wonder, to our breathing and heart beating. Nothing is truly dead, and everything exists with a chord that binds all together under the same sky. It's unbearably beautiful and astounding. Esoteric philosophy that lingers in my mind, wistfullness, ecstasy, and love and all that built a home in my heart. It is evident and a reminder of the fact that beauty is everywhere.

Nothing is more magical than starting a new beginning.

Sometimes it can be scary and even challenging when starting something new, but it also can be exciting to start a new adventure in your chapter of life.

Go all out and have fun while doing it! You’ll never know until you try, and if you end up enjoying it, don’t give up and keep going! I believe in you 💕

We do not escape into philosophy, psychology, and art;

We go there to restore our shattered selves into wholes

“Interior With Etruscan Vase” (1940), Henri Matisse

“I do not literally paint that table, but the emotion it produces upon me.”

"A work of art does not answer questions it provokes them; and its essential meaning is in the tension between the contradictory answers."

—Leonard Bernstein
