Dear friends, strangers, and fellow art enthusiasts,

Welcome to my page, where I invite you to explore art through my lens. Here, I endeavour to delve into Western historical art movements while also weaving in the rich tapestry of the Ancient Persian world—a heritage I proudly cherish.

For over a decade, my passion for art has been a guiding force, leading me through various roles within art galleries, museums, and other cultural spaces. Though I now find myself in the banking industry, my ardor for the arts has only intensified. I dedicate significant time to deepening my understanding of art history, currently pursuing a certification online. All analyses presented here stem from my own reflections, honed through critical skills developed as I progress through the course.

My study journey is divided into two parts: from prehistoric to Renaissance, and from Renaissance to the 20th century (Modern Art). While my focus primarily lies within these realms, works categorized as Post-modern or Contemporary might not find their place here, as I am still cultivating my appreciation for them.

As you explore these pages, you’ll find insights and reflections on various artworks. I’ve chosen to spotlight one of my favorite Renaissance paintings, Primavera, captured during my visit to the Uffizi. This exquisite piece not only captivates with its beauty but also serves as a poignant depiction of spring—a season of renewal and new beginnings. It reminds us of the boundless fertility of the world and, on a personal note, serves as a gentle reminder that after every long winter, a resplendent spring awaits.

While I embark on solo travels, I endeavor, whenever feasible, to share my own photographs from the galleries I visit, offering you a glimpse into the world of art as I experience it firsthand.

I hope you find joy and inspiration in the musings and analyses shared here. Please feel free to reach out to me via email; I welcome your thoughts and conversations.

Warm regards,

Ala
