For how many times you want to escape?
Therefore, you escape into traveling, food, music, books, art, daydreams…….
But the truth is, wherever we escape, we still need to face trifles, need to face the reality.
We can’t escape.
the Kiss, by Klimt, has special meaning for me.
When I lived in the Netherlands, in front of my bed, the big decoration painting was the print of the Kiss. When I was in Italy, I bought a small and delicate espresso cafe cup designed with the Kiss and brought to Singapore as a gift to the person who I love, he is also the person who encourages me to be an artist.
When I was in Vienna, I went to Belvedere Museum to see this original painting, I was sitting in front of the painting and drew the Persian Princess on a postcard and sent to him.
Later when I came back home and did my first painting of Persian Princess, I painted this one, which marked the start of my artistic journey.
