"There can be no light without the dark."

The one striving for the goodness would not exist if there were no such thing as evil. Perhaps, it is our perceptions that made us believe this way. Yet, to be realistic, these things are there.

Artists would paint their eupathies on canvas. These paintings would shine bright, and look glorious.

Although these are thought to be nice characteristics, people could not see beyond the lights. It would blind them. Yang, itself, was not really pleased with the fact that its presence could not make any difference on people's emotions by itself. It wanted to see people have an enjoyable journey. It was when Yang first felt that Yin was an essential part as well. You could call it an obsessive love, or maybe a great partnership between these two. It was also the first time that people unconsciously let the Yin bloom in them. People would shiver with the joyfulness of the fact that they could see beyond the light.

Even though everything was eventually safe and sound, the things were not the same for Yin and Yang. They knew that people would be in dispair without them. This perception was feeding their egos, and they were not aware that their egos would tear them apart. They were at the point of being delirious. Not only the artists but also the people were losing their minds. Yin and Yang were playing with them. Sometimes Yang would be the only one present and blinding people, and sometimes Yin would leave them alone with a darkness in their head on purpose. That feeling of destituteness was intoxicating them. However, that did not last long.

"Yes... They might have eventually found each other, but they didn't know that there would be no one left to want them together."

a visual echo of pain, trauma, and survival. every pixel shaped by my emotions — a fragmented yet persistent memory that chose to exist. every distortion is a tremor; every shift in color, an echo of a memory. a scream too vast for words to contain.

The soul is like a violin string: it makes music only when it is stretched. 

-Neal A. Maxwell

In the romantic and mystical times of the 19th century, an artist who was inspired by the works of Frédéric Chopin and identified with art, isolated himself from the outside world and lost himself.

As a lover of classical music, I feel elevated when I hear the violin. I can feel it in the air. I must pay my respects to Frédéric Chopin, Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, Camille Saint-Saës, Sergei Prokofiev. I owe this work to them. The process behind this artwork is actually the integration of the notes and the colorful shapes that emerge as the melody drags my fingers with the paint. My soul somehow snuck into my art. The soul is as equally attached to the body as I am to this piece. It gracefully portrays itself as the one playing the violin. 

I feel incredible that the violin has finally found a place in my art. I am sure that ‘whisper’ will be the beginning of many.

The School of Art

It has all begun. The inevitable is about to come, and it is not the same thing as it was before. Not so restless but rather mindless now. The steps of it can be found anywhere. Spacewalker is not somewhere, it's everywhere. It set foot on the places you don't even think that exist. Yet, you do not have to resist. Even the stars admire its presence.

The Sun despises him as Spacewalker is brighter with the light, the source of which is the Sun itself.

Second piece of 'Silver Surfer' series.

THE TRUTH

Pepe Club by Gruff

SUSPECT (2023)

Suspicion… It gets you at the most unexpected times. It shadows all the other feelings kept in your mind around it. It is almost like there is nothing else but skepticism. Your emotions and thoughts become the victims of it as it passes through the lake of consciousness. Yet, you become the one that drowns.

'ART PLAYER'

Vibes & Times

Cosmic Power runs through the body of this unknown being. It overloads. Space is his playground, and it wanders around. He's lost, and nowhere to be found. After Galactus set eye on its planet, there was nothing to do but to leave. 

Though seems to be mindless  
It remains to be just restless. 
He not only wanders but also questions... 
The depth of space, wishing to find its way. 
Cries in silver  
Unfortunately it shivers. 

First piece of 'Silver Surfer' series.

Sometimes, you need someone to be part of your darkness. It gets overwhelming when you're all alone. Perhaps, what gets you together is that hatred of yours that gets you together. When you find that special one, you feel your souls connect. 

You see your emotions overlap with one another. That is when you find your soulmate.
