The painting of subjects is a recurring theme among artists. This is a research process that seeks to achieve the energetic essence of the subject.
Everyone goes about it. Looking back, by reworking the subject, some have reached an almost universally recognized perfection.
I chose intuitively violins because my practice therapist taught me to "heal" them. The violins carry the waves of the luthier who made them.
This can be an advantage but it is often a source of blocking the emotions of the artist. Many great artists have done me the honor of asking me to clean their instruments from the, sometimes, negative waves of the luthier. And the result
is a constant source of inspiration.
