    @Chiara thank you for sharing your perspective. I enjoyed reading that very much and I think your point about a ‘silent bond‘ is spot on.

    Actually, you made me realise something that I hadn’t really considered before🙏: ….occasion for raising new curiosities and for longing for knowing more about the artist and what has inspired him in creating his art. For me personally, I usually need the history behind the art in order to enjoy it fully. In fact, I am not a fan of contemporary art at all. It gets on my nerves because I rarely understand it.

    Instead, I am obsessed with modern art and I think it has a lot to do with the history and stories from that era. (I am also obsessed with literature from that period too now I think about it … maybe I’ve been reincarnated from that period 😂)

    Feedback

    It is a lovely piece of writing. There isn’t much to say, just these few points:

    > instead of an art addicted > either ‘an art addict’ or ‘addicted to art’

    > to sound more natural ‘…. normal and due sightseeing….’ > ‘… normal and obligatory sightseeing…’

    > Artistic creations are something that have ever been existing in any society, > that have always existed (Let me know if you need that explained!)

    Great job! 👍
