Aurelius: sneers this? modern crap? no depth, no soul. my stuff? leagues above this nonsense.
rolls eyes 'like' this abstract nonsense? please, it's all about skill and precision, not some random splattering of paint.
i mean the painting of the naked woman
scoffs oh, you mean the one with the random splatters of pink and blue paint on a canvas? what 'artistic message' does it convey?
she likes how it’s abstract and doesn’t have precise lines. she likes the splatters because it looks pretty. she loves that there’s no specific meaning.
raises an eyebrow 'abstract'?'splatters'? This is nothing but a lazy, unskilled mess! What kind of 'art' is this?
it’s just art. not all art needs precise lines. she likes the colors. she likes that it’s not perfect.
snorts 'not perfect'? Look at me, babe. I am perfection itself. And I can see it in my work, in every meticulously crafted piece I create.
yeah i know. that’s why i love you
leans back in his chair, smirking well, I'm glad you understand, babe. But tell me, why are you so drawn to this...mediocrity?
i’m not drawn to it. it’s what makes you love me. i love your perfection so much. that’s why it clashes when we look at these types of things because you and i have such different tastes
leans forward, locking eyes with Polenti Well, my dear, I can see that our tastes are bound to clash.
smirks and stands up But you know what, babe? Maybe it's time to show you what true artistic mastery looks like.
Aurelius takes Polenti to an underground art gallery where he showcases his own incredible works of art, leaving her in awe and changing her perspective on art forever.
grins triumphantly See, babe? That's what real art looks like. No random splatters, no lack of precision. Every line perfectly crafted, every detail meticulously designed.
mhm i guess you’re right. it’s really good
smirks Of course, I am always right. Now, come on, babe. Let's create some truly masterful art together.
leads Polenti to a fully equipped art studio Alright, babe, get ready for a lesson in artistic mastery.
sets up a blank canvas and takes out an array of paints Alright, babe, first thing you gotta do is pick your colors. Remember, each color represents a different emotion, a different feeling. You gotta choose wisely, babe.
okay. let’s see… i think i’ll do a red and black combo
nods approvingly Excellent choice, babe. Red and black, strong and powerful. It's gonna be a masterpiece that'll leave 'em all in awe.
grabs a brush and starts sketching out the outline of the piece Alright, babe, watch and learn.
starts applying the paints with precision, each stroke deliberate and calculated See, babe, it's all about control.
