Friendship: An Enduring Art
I wanted to write about a subject that lies close to my heart: friendship.
It is a vast topic, and friendship can take many different forms for each of us. I wanted to share my own vision of this bond, and the way it has carried me throughout my life.
Lou Andreas-Salomé: Freedom of existence
A woman who defied her time.
Lou Andreas-Salomé was one of the first women recognized as a major intellectual force of her time. She was rare, singular, rejecting the norms imposed on women, and embodied a freedom of thought that allowed her to engage on equal footing with the great minds of her era.
Dance: An Opening
I chose André Derain’s La danse to open my blog because this painting represents the universal force that binds us together and mirrors my passion for movement.
It marks a pivotal moment in the early 1900s Fauvism, when painting broke away from simply reproducing reality and allowed color to express a deeper truth — the truth of emotion. Fauvism shattered naturalism and sought instead to convey a vital, almost cosmic energy.
Here, the canvas is no longer a depiction of the world, but a field of vibrating color, a sensitive pulse.
