The Kiss
Painting mundanity in an extraordinary light.
Shimmering strokes of gold falls downward into a patch of colorful wildflowers. Evoking the essence of admiration and joy, the mundanity of a kiss is brought into an extraordinary light. These complex figures are intertwined in an act of love. Sitting besides a steep cliff. But is their love reciprocal?

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

"Challengers" Movie Review
Challengers is a triumphantly sexy cinematic rollercoaster ride, too incredulously fun not to watch. Tashi Duncan is played by Zendaya, the exceptionally emotive young movie star. Matched against her are two gorgeously nerdy-looking young players, Mike Faist as Art Donaldson and Josh O’Conner as Patrick Zweig. All three have the blessing of great chemistry whenever they spar across screen. Alongside their star qualities are bouncing timelines, demonstrating a lifetime of flagrantly competitive choices that create a trail of wasted potential and misguided lust. Director Luca Guadagnino really knows how to make a graceful yet scandalous picture. Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross's EDM score intensifies the thrill of tennis and prideful characters up to an eleven. After watching Challengers multiple times, I am forced to argue that all sporting events should henceforth take place at a fist-pumping rave. When first hearing about this movie, I thought the entire plot had been offered up within the two-minute trailer. Two friends like a tennis star. Tennis star has a career-ending injury. Tennis star picks blonde boy, and brunette boy is angry. Audience members think they have digested the full ingredients of the film before getting their soles sticky from the theatre floor. Yet, this new-age masterpiece is anything but a simple meal.

What an interesting take on a painting I've seen so often I typically take for granted. I have to admit, I've never noticed just how precariously she kneels next to that steep cliff. Profound.
Great critique. I always think this picture makes them seem like they are in a cocoon and that despite the beauty of the gold and the colours, she doesn't look quite comfortable. Bloody lovely to look at though.
Indeed! Solid, deep questions. I am now wondering the same. That cliff is a very curious inclusion into the piece, isn't it. Fantastic choice, and a great critique. Congratulations!
Nice work. Glad some painting critiques gained recognition! 😊👏
A reminder that art is meant to make you think. Well done, and congrats!
Oooh love ending the question. Packs a real punch. Congrats, KB!
Beautiful allusion. Said everything you needed to in 50 words. Congratulations on your win.
Always liked this one! Congrats!
Your review is much more beautiful than the art!
