The painting “thoughts” has the ability to reflect the internal turmoil and conflict of the subject. It allows us to explore and express the complex emotions and struggles that we may face in our daily lives. Through the use of color, texture, and form, the artist conveys the internal conflicts that lie beneath the surface. These emotions range from anxiety and fear to joy and love, and are represented in a myriad of ways. By tapping into our experiences and emotions, Irina Cristescu connects us with the artwork on a deeper level and makes us gain a greater understanding of ourselves and the world around us.

The phrase “the fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves” is prominently featured on the background, adding a layer of philosophical depth to the painting. This quote from Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar suggests that our own actions and choices, rather than external forces, are responsible for our fate. The use of purple, a color associated with introspection and spirituality, reinforces this theme of personal responsibility and self-examination.

Overall, “thoughts” is a powerful exploration of the inner workings of the human mind, conveying the complexity and turmoil that can exist within an individual’s thoughts and emotions. The use of color and brushwork adds depth and nuance to the painting, capturing the psychological nuances of the subject’s inner life.
