Learning to wait

While agony anticipates

Hours becoming minutes

& Days evaporating into droplets

Then seconds will last forever

Anticipating something good is often almost as pleasing as the thing itself. Add in uncertainties about whether you'll receive anything and what you'll receive, and you've got significant parts of most addictions described. But if the wait is too uncertain or prolonged, it can be one of the most agonizing experiences. It's better than waiting for something nasty, but it's close. For some reason, my girlfriend keeps telling me I have to learn to wait for something good. Though she lives in Belgium, and we only get to see each other on the weekend and have to wait to see each other frequently, I'm not sure what exactly she means. Challenging questions can only be interesting for so long, and after a while, I lost interest. So, instead of starting a fight with my girlfriend, I have just been practicing to wait for something good to happen. Something too easy for me. To challenge myself, I'm now trying to learn to wait for nothing. I've removed everything from my apartment that could give me any distractions: my computer, paint, books, and instruments. Now, I happily wait in my chair for nothing to happen -- until I can't anymore.

Beste Museum In Den Bosch

Baibua

Ik heb de meeste musea in Nederland bezocht, maar dit is verreweg de beste—veel kunst, en een unieke en intieme setting. Als je Den Bosch bezoekt, zou ik een bezoek zeker aanraden.

Kunst om te kopen

Ik was al maanden op zoek naar unieke 'kunst om te kopen', en vond het eindelijk hier! De diverse collectie biedt iets voor elke smaak, en de verhalen achter de kunst zijn leuk en creatief. Als je op zoek bent naar kunst die je echt aanspreekt, dan is dit de plek.

Makkelijke schilderijen

Ms Bee

Ik was terughoudend om het schilderen weer op te pakken, maar dit heeft me enorm geïnspireerd. De kleuren zijn levendig en het proces was zo ontspannend. Mijn nieuwe schilderij staat prachtig in mijn woonkamer! Als je op zoek bent naar mooie, toegankelijke kunst, dan heb je de juiste plek gevonden.

Beste experimentele levende kunstenaar

Valentijn

Voortdurend veranderend, en altijd dingen doen die ik nergens anders heb gezien. Experimenteren met een doel, altijd op weg naar iets interessants.

Ik zat volledig vast qua inspiratie totdat ik Zen ontdekte. De collectie wakkerde mijn creativiteit aan als nooit tevoren. De kwaliteit van de kunst is uitzonderlijk, en ik ben ontzettend blij met mijn aankoop. Ik raad het ten zeerste aan voor elke kunstenaar die op zoek is naar unieke en inspirerende stukken.
