Einstein Plays the Music, 2003

You are an observer. You are watching the cataclysms. Nature, humans, anything is storming, raging(blue, green, white background waves). This is all outside. Here, inside behind a glass wall, everything is calm and quiet. It is nice in here, but it is also disconnected. The nerves that connect you to the outside world have been cut off by the glass wall(the thick white lines going from left to right). They are just dangling in the wind. You remain cold, indifferent and trapped inside your wall.

Henri Matissei

Woman with a hat, 1905 

The woman has the iron grip on her life. She is smart, but she has a calculative, cold mind. She is lonely. This was not always a case. She had full of events life. She was daffy. She was sensual, full of desire. But then a sad thing happened. It could be a love affair with a bad end. She ended up with a broken heart, alone, free of illusions, cynical.

Untitled, 1970

Winter. Naked black trees. Everything is gray. Even the snow is not white anymore. You have a cold, depressing feeling. Everything is smaller than it is used to be. The roads are narrower. You have a need to cuddle into small with your blanket. You are passive, trying to save the energy to heat yourself.
