"Life is a Struggle (Golden Rider)," Gustav Klimt, 1903.

I won't go on about Klimt, you've heard it before. But this is an interesting canvas; it mixes the "modern" style of Art Nouveau with material that echoes the Pre-Raphaelites and medieval art.

Klimt painted this during a bitter time of life; three paintings he'd been commissioned for by the University of Vienna had been rejected for being "pornographic." Evidently, this was painted to hearten himself as he continued on his artistic journey, despite the critics and naysayers, symbolized by the snake.

There's a mosaic-like quality to this, as there is to some of Klimt's work. And the overall effect is almost jewel-like.

Courage, friends!

New #introduction post!

I'm Alicia and I'm a fibre artist (#dyeing #handspinning #felting #needlefelting #weaving #crochet #embroidery #upcycling #sewing) with interests in #mandala #art #psychedelicart #sacredgeometry #neurographicart and #watercolors.

My family and I run a business called @Fibre2Fabric where we dye all sorts of exotic #fibre #yarn, and #fabric.

I live in the country with my partner and our 6 #cats, 3 #dogs, #snake and #crestedgecko where I enjoy my many interests. (#gardening #plants #herbalism #fungi #music #ukulele #piano #dancing #flowart #reading #writing #tarot #poetry #haiku #cozygames and I'm getting more into #opensource / #linux)

When I say flow art, I mean spinning props like #hulahoop #leviwand #puppyhammer #poi #staff #silkfans #firefans etc.

I love #languagelearning. I studied #German and #Spanish as a kid, took #Japanese in uni, and I'm currently studying #ASL #Cree #Tokipona #Spanish and #Chinese. I also dabble in #French and #Latin sometimes and I'm learning #Greggshorthand to write faster. Cree is my favourite language and Spanish is my second.

I've been cursed since childhood with that lovely trifecta of #heds #pots and #mcas. Healing slowly but surely.

Hope I get to meet even more cool people the algorithms would normally drown out on other social media sites. I love it here!
