We've done our best.
I guess I can be satisfied with that.
The fighting isn't over, and really, it never will be.
But with you by my side, I think I can handle it.

Whether it's with a warm fire or a kind rain...
We'll build a home we can be proud of.

a couple years ago i saw the paintings of Remedios Varo for the first time and just like... damn, do i really love some wild and pretty surrealist art!! i don't know a lot about classical art or painting outside of the 10 or so artists that everyone mentions, so seeing her work for the first time was a huge surprise. i really dig it! her work feels rooted in magic... her style, and especially her characters, have this slight ethereal feeling to them, like they might just evaporate if you stared at them too long.

she paints a lot of women creating things at desk with a wide variety of complicated instruments. these paintings always look like they're portraying the act of creativity and creation as this strange alchemy that brings light and life into the world.

she painted such wild scenery and intimidating characters that it kind of makes you feel like magic is a true thing. again, as someone who hasn't seen much traditional art, i had this sense of it being either very grounded & realistic, or very abstract. Salvador Dali's work, for example, is more difficult for me to grasp onto, with just how formless it tends to be. But Remedios Varo's art is surrealism rooted in solid, tangible humanity. it's really cool! you could imagine seeing some of these characters and scenes in bloodborne or something!! i love it.
