There is a quiet alchemy that happens when an artist steps away from the canvas, sets down the brush, and reaches for a pen. Some painters leave their worlds in pigment alone, but others continue the conversation in words as parallel creations. The poem becomes an extension of the painting, offering another way in. In these moments, the artist does not change mediums so much as translate visions, carrying color into cadence and line into language.

Art history is a fascinating realm that offers a window into different time periods and cultures through the eyes of various artists.
