Painting what I experience, translating what I feel, is like a great liberation. But it is also work, self-examination, consciousness, criticism, struggle.

Balthus was a French artist who had a unique style of painting. He was known for his dreamy and enigmatic paintings, often featuring young girls in curious poses. Although his work was often controversial, it was also highly sought after. He often used bright colors and a mix of classical and modern elements to create his art. He was a true original, and his work continues to inspire many today.
