☀️ Arselia and Akonia

- From a professional standpoint and considering my life's path, I don't see any problem with this at all. Only a coward or a talentless person would deliberately hide "unnecessary" details of an image or artificially limit their own imagination to appease generally accepted norms or the opinions of those far removed from art. Moreover, if an image evokes a physical reaction, just as with a spiritual response, it is a clear sign of well-done work, high quality, and there is certainly no reason to be ashamed of that. As for the muse... In my view, it is someone who inspires a person to new feats, discoveries, and work filled with spiritual joy – something a person will do not out of necessity or idleness, but to the delight of their soul, which yearns for the sublime. Here, one can add that a muse is not necessarily a person; it can also be an inanimate object, depending on the profession and the views of the individual. However, so many men have been made into gods that we revere the image of perfect femininity and use it to motivate ourselves in various endeavors. I, by virtue of being an artist, express this in this way, while other people express it differently. Some men, driven by passionate love for their muses, kill dragons or conquer entire countries... In essence, it's the same trait that any twelve-year-old boy has, which manifests when he sees a girl or young woman he likes – he immediately starts showing off, kneeling before the eternal image of the feminine principle. Figuratively speaking, of course. An adult might think this is silly, but it is precisely this motivation that people use to move mountains. But, regardless, the root of my problem lies somewhat elsewhere, because we are, after all, talking about a living person, with whom I also interact almost every day, and not about an image created by my consciousness.
