He was that kind of a difficult snotty kid, who appeared from nowhere as if fully formed, then, like a meteor glowing with dark, perpetual fire he flashed through life fulfilled with struggles, suffering, torment and passions. He left one of the most compelling collections of paintings in the Modern Art; despite of the quite [...]

Death as an eternal form of Art…
Back to Paris again…
Pere Lachaise is probably one of the most beautiful cemeteries of this world.

Paris, Paris…
Just a quick ‘Hello’ from one of the cultural centers of this world.
