(grabs you by the shoulders) you have to make room for new experiences in your life. you have to go through the unpleasant work of leaving your comfort zone, even if just for a few minutes at a time. because if you don't, your brain will trick you into stagnation. you will start to believe that the world can barely fit you in it. but that's not true. it's the opposite way around. you can fit the whole word inside of you. your task is only this: to welcome it with open arms

“I basked in you; I loved you helplessly, with a boundless tongue-tied love. And death doesn’t prevent me from loving you. Besides, in my opinion you aren’t dead. (I know dead people, and you are not dead.)”

—Franz Wright, “Untitled,” from Earlier Poems

Hello, I have been a fan of your art for some time, it really inspires me and I was wondering where you got the inspiration for the style you draw in? It's really interesting and I don't really know from where it can originate from. I hope you will have a good day :)

Aw geez thank you so much!🥰 I dunno really, I think it is a mix of styles, I like Lucian Freud a lot and post Impressionism and some artists I follow on Instagram I really love

Also oh oh John singer Sargent and William Blake

I am afraid of my impotence to explicably define extreme emotions, but I believe in the power of human beings to perceive and intimately feel the extremities alone. I think great things, such as these, never really needed words; we just have to let them go beyond letters and figures.
