René Magritte

Son of man 1964

 Rene was a Belgium  surrealist artist. He became well known for a number of witty and thought-provoking images that fall under the umbrella of surrealism.

René Magritte. The Lovers

 His work is known for challenging observers' preconditioned perceptions of reality.He  happens  to be my  favorite painter and i am happy to say that i  have visited in  Brussels his museum

Ceci n'est pas"

 Magritte's work frequently displays a collection of ordinary objects in an unusual context, giving new meanings to familiar things. The use of objects as other than what they seem is typified in his painting.Magritte used the same approach in a painting of an apple: he painted the fruit and then used an internal caption or framing device to deny that the item was an apple. In these "Ceci n'est pas" works, Magritte points out that no matter how naturalistically we depict an object, we never do catch the item itself.

The therapeutist - Rene Magritte

Magritte's works are conceived of as riddles. In them, he explores the mysteries lurking in the unexpected juxtaposition of everyday things, involving the viewer in a self-induced disorientation. His paintings exclude symbols and myths; everything is visible. Magritte worked from several sources, which he repeated with variations: anatomical surprises, such as the hand whose wrist is a woman's face; the mysterious opening, where a door swings open onto an unexpected vista; metamorphic creatures, such as a stone bird flying above a rocky shoreline. He animates the inanimate, as a shoe with toes; he enlarges details, as an immense apple filling a room. he makes an association of complementaries, as the leaf-bird, or the mountain-eagle. His titles accompany the paintings in the way that names correspond to objects, without either illustrating or explaining them.

There is always a kind of logic to Magritte's images but when asked about analysis of the content of his paintings, Magritte replied, "If one looks at a thing with the intention of trying to discover what it means, one ends up no longer seeing the thing itself, but of thinking of the question that is raised." The interpretation of the image was a denial of its mystery, the mystery of the invisible. His images are to be looked at, not into.

my acrylic painting designs

when i  decided  to  find  out if  i  can manage to  draw...Acrylic is  always the  first  step!!
You  can  mix  the  colors  really easy  ..water   helps a lot to  make the paint thinner .It  also  has the advantage that it  dry faster  than  oil.Its  fine  for  the introduction in  painting but in my  opinion oil   is  always  more  fun to  use!!

my first oil painting..

As  i  promised  here  are the projects i am   trying  on  my   own ...don't  judge    to  hard!! this is my   first oil painting . i  discovered  that  the  colors are easier to mix and blend but water  here  wont do...so its harder to clean and you ll meed patience for  the drying   part!!

Quotes That Will Make You Fall In Love With Poetry

“You could tie my tongue
My lips, my teeth
Split them into surrender
Into a foreign language
And I would still manage
To cough up your name.”
- Danielle Shorr, “Let”





“Here I love you.
Here I love you and the horizon hides you in vain.
I love you still among these cold things.
Sometimes my kisses go on those heavy vessels
that cross the sea towards no arrival.
I see myself forgotten like those old anchors.”
- Pablo Neruda, “Here I Love You”



You are a horse running alone
and he tries to tame you
compares you to an impossible highway
to a burning house
says you are blinding him
that he could never leave you
forget you
want anything but you
you dizzy him, you are unbearable
every woman before or after you
is doused in your name.” - Warsan Shire, “For Women Who Are Difficult to Love”


“He used to love me,
and now
he’s just a stranger
who happens to know
all my secrets.”
- Clementine Von Radics, “It’s Just So Strange”
