Art fills  up the human being life (the left half). Without the art, it feels empty, bland and without a purpose(the right half). Art is important. Imagine your life without art. I mean any art: conceptual, abstract, representative, performing, pop, TV. Art is part of the design of all things that we use in our every day life.

Women need to create an aura of mystery around them. The woman is always conscientious about her look. She is always in control of her outer image. She takes the created mystery(black), wraps it tight with her mind and will (violet). Then she invents her style(yellow) to beautify the parcel. And on top of all that she puts a layer of naivety, carelessness and lightness(the blueish green).

If you look closer, you will see that those diagonal-almost-vertical lines consists of several layers of paint.This is your life experience. The lines represent events, people and things that happened in your life.Some were small, some were bigger, some occurred several times and some never happened (well those you can't see, they remained unpainted :). This experience helps you to get the meaning (the foreground swirls) from current events(the white lines) - to connect the dots and to start a new layer of experience on your life painting.
