of its lack of visual images. Well, for me music has no conflict with
the arts. It's a part of the art history if you tell me. They have an

an artist can't reproduce those images into perfect images in real

been working on our blog for almost a year now and we love every
minute of it. Writing about exhibitions we visited, or artists we
love, already helped us a lot in gaining more knowledge and it trains
us to think in a certain way. We look at things differently and are
capable of applying our acquired knowledge on every new arty thing we
