to the art that brought me joy

In a world formed by chaos, I choose to fill my days with beauty.

So, when I find art that inspires me to approach the world through the lens of gentleness and beauty- I have to engage. During these experiences, I am a student. I drink up creation, lapping every last drop like a dog who’s felt thirst.

Okay, I am being too dramatic.

I will not be explaining why I like these pieces-

1. I am too lazy to write a review for these lists.

2. The reason I like these pieces might not be the same reason that you might like them. I want you to form your own opinions without me needing to justify why I like it. So, without further ado, here are some pieces that have personally inspired my art.
