Blind Beauty
In a world so often defined by what we see, the very idea of “visual art” seems inseparable from vision itself. Galleries, exhibitions, digital portfolios—all curated for the eye. But a quiet revolution is underway, one led by artists who defy that assumption. Visually impaired and blind artists are reshaping not only what art is but how we experience it. Their work forces us to ask: Is seeing really the only way of knowing?

Whispers in Blue: The Story Behind Degas’ Dancers
Title: Whispers in Blue: The Story Behind Degas' Dancers The rehearsal room was hushed, though not silent. The wooden floor creaked like the hull of an old ship. Dust drifted lazily through the late afternoon light, golden and tired as it spilled through the high windows. In a quiet corner of the room, Edgar Degas sat still, eyes half-lidded, sketchbook on his lap, his gaze fixed on the blue.

"The Starry Night: A Masterpiece Born from Madness"
The Starry Night: A Symphony of Silence and Madness In the hush of a Saint-Rémy night, the stars whispered. It was 1889, and Vincent van Gogh sat behind the iron bars of the asylum window, his breath fogging the glass as the wind stirred the cypress trees beyond. The room behind him was still—too still. Silence had always been his shadow, but now it had teeth. Every ticking second scraped at his thoughts.

The Smell of Beautiful
How perfumes unlock emotional and psychological triggers ? There’s something mysteriously powerful about scent. One whiff of jasmine, and you're transported to your grandmother’s garden. A trace of musk, and suddenly you're back in the arms of your first love. Perfume isn’t just about smelling good—it's memory bottled, emotion liquified, and psychology made wearable.

Art Fight: What is it and what you do
Art Fight is in a bit less than a week and you might be seeing its name pop up a bit. What, exactly is it? It has a rather violent sounding name and when I explain it to those older than me, they even sometimes sound concerned, as if I'm taking out paint and battering people with it. But Art Fight is essentially a game. It takes place across the whole month of July, from the 1st to the 31st, on the main Art Fight website.
