Artwork that inspires me
“I absolutely adore the energy of this piece. The vivid colors and bold shapes make it so easy for me to get lost in them. I feel as though they guide my thoughts and allow me to see the world from a different perspective. It's amazing to think that Hilma af Klint was only recently discovered. I still remember the day when I stumbled upon her work and felt a sense of anger. How was it possible that I hadn't heard of such an amazing artist before? In a nutshell, the art world didn't recognize her because of who she was. This discovery sparked a desire in me to investigate the stories of other artists who have been historically overlooked.“
