Stendhal: "Only great minds can afford a simple style"

• "Only great minds can afford a simple style".

• "f you don't love me, it does not matter, anyway I can love for both of us".

• "One can acquire everything in solitude except character".

• "The more one pleases everybody, the less one pleases profoundly".

• "I think no woman I have had ever gave me so sweet a moment, or at so light a price, as the moment I owe to a newly heard musical phrase".

Herodotus | The father of History

Non voglio che tu sia lo zimbello del mondo.

Ti lascio il sole che lasciò mio padre a me.

Le stelle brilleranno uguali ed uguali ti indurranno

le notti a dolce sonno.

Il mare t'empirà di sogni. Ti lascio

il mio sorriso amareggiato: fanne scialo

ma non tradirmi. Il mondo è povero

oggi. S'è tanto insanguinato questo mondo

ed è rimasto povero. Diventa ricco

tu guadagnando l'amore del mondo.

Mike Savad | Digital painter

"I was born in Texas, in an army base. I've always had a camera in my hand, mostly to keep me busy. It wasn't until about 20 years ago or so, when I got my first digital camera that I could experiment and learn how to do photography".

"Photo realistic is what people think of first. There are many themes, flowers, porches, and local Suburban Scenes, some city, some urban. I also have many Job inspired images that cover a quite a range. My art is inspired by Norman Rockwell 1894-1978🎨 and paintings from the time of the Renaissance🎨".
