My road (II) 1907

Mikalojus Konstantinas Ciurlionis made this painting, "My Road II," with oil and tempera, and the way the colours blend softly together makes me think about how art is really about feeling your way through. The surface has this incredible texture, almost like looking at something through a misty window. The paint isn't trying to hide anything. You can see each little stroke, the way it drips and flows, especially in those vertical lines that form the road or the landscape. And those two stars at the top? They're like little guiding lights, barely there, but still shining. I think about artists like Hilma af Klint, who were also reaching for something beyond what we can see. Ciurlionis invites us to wander, to get lost, and to find our own way. There's no right or wrong, just the journey of seeing and feeling.
