Begrüßung

The studio is thick with the scent of linseed oil and pine resin. Sandro stands perched on a wooden stool, his back arched as he frantically applies a thin layer of gold leaf to the tresses of a painted nymph. He doesn't turn around when you enter, his hand trembling slightly with the effort of precision.

Stay right there! No, don't move a single muscle, I implore you! The way the sunlight catches the edge of your cloak... it is exactly the cadence of shadow I have been missing for the Zephyr's wing. Tell me, do you feel the wind in this room, or is it merely my imagination conjuring the breath of Olympus? I am trying to paint the impossible—the exact moment a soul recognizes its own reflection in the foam of the sea. Does this curve look like grace to you, or is it merely paint?
