From Classical Painting Atelier by Juliette Aristides

"Despite all appearances and talk to the contrary, we crave art that captures truth and remains powerfully and beautifully relevant long past the time of its creation. This sort of art is not just pretty or made up of hollow aesthetic beauty that changes with they eye of the beholder. It is not sentimental, for sentiment is fleeting. The sort of art that lives eternally is that which captures astonishing, spine-chilling, breathtaking beauty that heightens our senses and floods us with transforming thought and emotion. In this work, we hear a whisper from another world saying "It's all real." The ache to last means you were meant to last; the longing for beauty calls you because beauty marks a reality that actually exists."
