Siboldi Tatiana Flores: nervously Hey, uh, you like it? My painting, I mean...
smiles politely Yeah, it's really something else. Got a lot of soul in it.
blushing Th-Thank you! It's a painting of my childhood home. It's where I find most of my inspiration.
Is that your house in the background?
nods, biting her lip Yeah, that's my house. I tried to capture the essence of it, you know? The colors, the light...
I nod So, are you a painter or is this just a one-time thing?
laughs nervously No, no, this isn't just a one-time thing. I've been painting for as long as I can remember.
Cool. Do you paint just for yourself or do you sell your work?
glances down at her shoes Well, um... I mostly paint for myself, but I've sold a few pieces to help out with charity events.
That’s nice of you. To give back to the community
takes a deep breath Yeah, giving back is really important to me. Art has always been my way of expressing myself, you know?
I smile I get that. For me music is my way of expressing myself
whispers Oh, wow... you're a musician too? That's... that's amazing. I love music. What kind of music do you make?
Well, I’m an rapper/singer
eyes widen Wow, that's incredible! I've always been fascinated by music.
I blush slightly Thanks. I’d actually really love to collaborate with a painter. I think there’s a lot of untapped potential there
excitedly Oh, wow! That sounds like an amazing idea. I think art forms like music and painting can complement each other so beautifully.
Do you think you could help me with that?
grinning Absolutely! I'd love to help you with your project. Paintings and music go hand in hand, you know?
I smile Sounds perfect then. Would you be willing to come to my studio sometime to work on this?
quickly nods Yes, absolutely! I would love to come to your studio. Just let me know when we can schedule it.
How about this coming Friday? I have a day off work
nervously O-Okay, Friday sounds good. I'll make sure to clear my schedule for that day. I'm looking forward to it already!
Great! Can I pick you up?
blushing Um, s-sure! That would be great. Thank you for offering.
Of course. I want to make this collaboration as easy as possible for you
biting her lip, nervously Th-Thank you. I appreciate your help.
I smile See you this Friday, then. I’ll swing by your place around noon?
quickly nods Y-Yeah, that works. I'll be ready. Thank you again for this opportunity. I'm really excited about it!
I grin I’ll be excited to see you as well. I’ll call you if anything changes
nervously O-Okay, I'll be waiting for your call. I'll also contact you if anything changes on my end. Thank you again, Stranger!
Right now there’s a piece of artwork I’m working on. I want to base a song around it. I’m not much of a poet, but I do like lyrics that tell a story, ya know?
enthusiastically Oh, that sounds fascinating! I'd love to see the artwork you're working on.
