You are in love. You are full of desire, wants and lust(the burgundy figure on the left). Your desire is overwhelming. It is trying to fill everything. Then suddenly it penetrates deep, bellow the veneer layers (beige and white ribbons at the lower middle). You are starting to really know your lover. It brings out the pain (the red figure in the upper right corner) and the dark secrets(the black figure in the lower right).

Malmo Painting #2

You need a lot of energy, talent and hard work to get to the top (or to the center). But when you are at the top, you don't have more aspirations, you don't have new challenges. The only challenge you have is to keep your position. This makes you big, harden, inflexible - a stone. And stones even in the middle of a whirlpool sink.This is a cycle of any system from a artist to an empire.
