A Treachery of Reality: Life is A Hallucination

Where neuroscience and surrealism collide — During the first outbreak of Covid-19, walking down the streets evoked some kind of familiar, yet extra-terrestrial feeling. I couldn’t quite put the feeling down in words, but I knew it had something to do with cities being empty; buildings looking lonely and isolated. After all, we have built and…

5 Christmas Presents for Artistic People

What do I gift someone who is into art and stuff like that? Alexa?? Did you hear me?? — If you came here with the sole intention of accusing me of making this list in hope of my girlfriend reading it and getting me some of these ‘items’ for Christmas, you’d be right. Not to say that the immense world of the internet doesn’t need it. Modesty may escape…

Art, Nudity, and Loneliness

Exploring concepts of loneliness as vulnerability and strength through the single nude work of art — Art, my heart, company for the lonely hand of the painter and the eyes of a solitary viewer. When I last wrote about art and loneliness, I didn’t think about nudity. …

My Fish Tank Cracked: Sleepless night and Saving Baby Shrimps

Story of a small aquarium that was no more — It happened. On a night when I was in runny bowel movements mode as well. I was having bad cramps and was stressed about it being 10 p.m. already when I had to wake up very early for work. Finally, though, I fell asleep… Was I dreaming about beautiful bettas…

If You Enjoy Poetry, You Need to Watch ‘The World to Come’ (2020 movie)

An underrate love story imagined in the Eastern American Frontiers. — Skipping a heartbeat is not something you want to experience too often, especially not for movie stars and imaginary characters. But, when I saw Tallie (Vanessa Kirby) with her hair worn red and long, wavy, embracing her light blue eyes, I almost had a heart attack. I survived long enough…

Art and Loneliness

On the art of loneliness, and the electric, eclectic, and eccentric lives of lonely artists. Sort of. — Luckly, I haven’t yet read a book that was recommended to me several times by a friend, or I wouldn’t be able to write this without plagiarising or stealing too many ideas. Or maybe I’m biased by the idea that a recommended book has to be good, maybe I wouldn't…

If You’re Looking for a New, Artistic Passion (Or Hobby), You Might Want to Start from The Great Pottery Throwdown

A tv competition made of clay and tears, with the power of redirecting your thoughts to art and slow living. — I write a lot about art and great artists. Magritte, Van Gogh, Frida Kahlo and the lot. But there is one problem. One may think that art, however changing and multifaceted, is only found in paintings and sculptures. How wrong we would be. And what can’t an owl do? This…

Your Article Deserves More Readers? Ask the Right Questions

☝ This is the Barnum effect. A marketing nudge for blog writers and artists of copy — Some of my older readers may think I have gone crazy. “Did she get desperate and jumped on the clickbait train?”. But really, what happened is that since starting full-time work, I don’t have much time to write; at least not as much as I’d like to. …

Jupiter and Callisto: Beautiful Paintings for a Horrible Act

Disguise, shame, and punishment. The heart-breaking myth of Callisto. — Oh, such beautiful paintings, longing moments. I initially saw one of the many visualizations of the myth and thought not much (for a second) of the title. All I could see was the faces and bodies of two youthful women, one especially giving in, lovingly leaning towards her lover. It…

5 Reasons I Liked Working as a Food Delivery Driver More Than at a Corporate Job. And Why I Can’t Do That Anymore

I Was Happier Working as a Delivery Rider Than at a Corporate Job, But I Can’t Go Back. This is the Reason — Public opinion would have it that when you graduate with a Master’s — one you are in debt for — you should want a corporate career, even better if in your field of study. See, I clearly remember a day, when I was about 19, in which I was stunned…
