I have the ability to grasp the likeness. I guess, it is like a musical ear. One can be taught to draw people, as well as play music. Beyond the skill it’s down to some undefinable magic which makes the whole difference. What makes a portrait so appealing? Is it a thirst to know more […]
Art is…
Art is a collaboration between God and the artist, and the less the artist does the better. – Andre Gide
One of the most stupid sentences mottos in advertising media
is “because you deserve it”. It is the 21st century. Women vote, preside, earn living etc, etc for some time now. Yet, if they want to “treat” themselves to a bottle of shampoo or a tub of cream, they have to deserve it. To serve well in other words. To be a good girl. Girls, you […]

Arts and Maths
What would you prefer to be: a young and inexperienced idiot, or an old and experienced idiot? I am personally at the transitional stage of old and inexperienced idiot myself. Arts and Maths. Nothing’s new. But new to me. As usual. I started thinking about it, but as my mom said to me today on the phone, […]
