Art + Literature

Life imitates art.

Sometimes words can’t articulate certain feelings. At those times, art can invoke emotions and tell stories. I like to scavenge for artists that illustrate themes in styles that I like. It’s a way of self-expression that I respect highly. Their creativity and distinct styles would make me a big fan of their work.

Here are a few that I love:

  1. Nara by Yoshitomo Nara

  2. Love and Distance: The Art of Wong Kar Wai | Night

  3. Studio Ghibli by Hayao Miyazaki

  4. Green Over Blue by Mark Rothko

  5. Paintings by Chetsada Phuwiang

  6. Water Lilies & The Japanese Footbridge by Claude Monet

  7. Skulls by Offgod / @yalocaloffgod

  8. Bodies of Work by Lisa Yuskavage

  9. Any artworks by Hana Kwon / @partywithhana

These are some books I enjoyed reading:

  1. The Secret History by Donna Tartt (P.S. thank you for rec chingu S.)

  2. If Beale Street Could Talk by James Baldwin

  3. Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer

  4. I Want to Die but I Still Want to Eat Tteokbokki by Baek Sehee (P.S. thank you for rec chingu J)

  5. Pachinko by Min Jin Lee

  6. The Let Them Theory by Mel Robbins

  7. The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath

  8. The Stranger by Albert Camus

That’s about it for now.
