Have you ever wondered why we find Mona Lisa’s smile mysterious? I mean, it’s just a lady who is posing for an artist. Well, this is because of how Leonardo depicted each element in it. Her smile, her hand posture, her body language—each detail tries to convey something unusual; it wouldn’t have been possible without […]
Are you in the mood for some fun activities because I have one task for you. Can you draw a square without any trace of lines? Wondering how to draw a square that doesn’t include lines? Well, that is impossible! What I want to convey is that “lines” are everywhere. A person cannot paint or […]
Finding love, sensuality, affection, and misery in one painting has made me fall for it. Yes, I am in love! I am in love with the beauty that the painting offers, with the vivid yet graceful colors, and with the amount of love the woman has for the roses. You must be wondering: Does a […]

“I don’t paint dreams or nightmares; I paint my own reality” One of the famous quotes by Frida Kahlo. Every artist presents their thoughts and feelings on canvas in one way or another.
