Frida Kahlo: “Vorrei essere ciò che ho voglia di essere”

Vorrei poter fare tutto ciò che mi piace dietro il sipario della "follia".

Allora: disporrei fiori, tutto il giorno,

dipingerei; dolore, amore e tenerezza,

riderei quanto mi pare della stupidità degli altri, e tutti direbbero: "Poverina, è pazza!"

Alexander Saidov, 1970 | The Garden of Eden

The compositions in Alexander Saidov's paintings are thought out to the smallest detail and every part of his imaginary world seems real.

While painting his pieces, the artist almost becomes a storyteller, who sounds so convincing that viewers start perceiving everything depicted not as a fantasy, but as real world, with its own course of life.

In some artworks, fantasy worlds are based on myths, legends, and religious texts, which are familiar to a wide range of viewers.
