“The object of Art is to give life a shape”, William Shakespeare.

The importance of the arts in our lives have always been underestimated. Art is natural human behavior; even before learning to talk, the primitive men were already making art in caves. Art tells stories, evokes emotion in people, increases creativity, boost your confidence and helps you relieve stress. When you see a civilization or an empire going on its decadence you will see that the people there stopped caring about the arts.

Here are some beautiful paintings I’ve collected for you to see and share:
