A New Talented Writer, 2012

This is a book. You can see that is a mystery fiction. It is read on one breath, it is so interesting. It is written by delicate and elegant language. The author is pretty new. He has fresh ideas as that breeze that enters the room through the window that we don't see on the left. The real talent is not only to create a book that appeals to the readers, the real talent conveys a big message, a world view as you wish, from the artist. The meta-message lays in inside layers of the creation. It works almost on sub-conscience level.  The real talent has layers on layers stacked up in his creation. The layers interact with each other.

Personage, with Yellow Ochre and White, 1947

You are reading a book. It is a about a small village There are several plot lines, but everything is pretty simple and predictable. So you are trying to understand why this book is so popular(a magnifying glass - black lines in the middle creating a rectangle and a oval). But then  a new  character is introduced. he is a real hero. he does everything right. He is perfect, too perfect(yellow oval in the upper  center). You learn that he has some sort of mystery from his past(black shadow around yellow oval). Now the character looks much more realistic. the mystery sucks you in. You start to see the whole plot in absolutely different light (the ochre band over the top ).
