I want to live in his world

I’m not sure I’m so brave, but it is very moving.

I wish his paintings had titles, or at least numbers. So hard to tell people about my favorites of his without already having a link handy.

i support numbering the art for referencing, but i'm also a big fan of artists choosing not to name their works because that'd leave the viewers with a greater freedom for interpretation. they'd have to be more abstract for this to make sense though.

Never heard of this artist before. Thank you so much for introducing him to me!
