“I was watching a production of the opera Armida by Rossini and there was this amazing scene where Armida (a powerful sorceress) has led a soldier she’s fallen in love with back to her vast enchanted pleasure palace and her nymphs perform a routine where they elaborately tease and dance around the soldier, tossing a myriad of apples over and around him in a hypnotic display of keep away.”

Besides @kliuwong​​ being an all-time favorite, we truly appreciate the detailed explanation the artist shares about this particular piece. Kristen, who is known for her poppy color palette and surreal compositions, includes a range of both visible and hidden elements in her work that add up symbolically to the narrative of each painting.

One great way to support your favorite artists (that won't break the bank) is to buy a t-shirt splashed with their imagery.🖤

Think about all of the people who will stop you on the street and say, "Cool t-shirt - who created the art?"

That's the perfect opportunity to get strangers (and friends) hooked on a new-to-them artist.

One thing will lead to another and BOOM, your favorite artist will score a few new fans and possibly even a commission or two!

In the spirit of spreading the good artsy word, we give you @justingedak's🕸️"Goth Girl"🕷️, which is now available on an appropriately inky black 100% ringspun cotton t-shirt via @designbyhumans (see image #2 in this post).

We likey. We likey verrry much.

Support your artsy peeps, please. Even buying 'just a t-shirt' is a really nice way to say, "Hey...I really like what you're doing." 👍

@susitse.art showcases within her illustrations mental health, struggles and personal challenges through the figurative representation of a wolf.

She states in the context of this piece: I want to learn to be merciful for myself. I know in practice that I should be merciful and kind to myself, but I just don’t know how. It’s like some inner part of me keeps haunting and biting me to be better and do more. That’s why what I want is to learn to ignore that biting, because it’s exhausting.”

“Artists paint pieces depending on their mood, so they can be not only bright and positive, but also sad or even creepy. It is possible that during the moments of working on a painting, the artist can charge the canvas with positive or negative energy, as a result of which the viewer can experience a variety of feelings when looking at such canvases. Breakdowns and cracks are integral to the history of the object, and therefore do not deserve oblivion or disguise, this is the philosophical basis of the art of kintsugi.”

We love this piece by @blagodatskix and her statement. Artists cannot be expected to create only entertaining, jolly and appealing pieces but should also be accepted in the wholeness as a human being with highs and lows… and the rights to express this!
