The Artist: Part VI

The Artist: Part VI


She wore a neutral face while working, and her eyes looks like they were looking at something so deep, and from time to time, she put down her paintbrush and walk to her coffee machine to make a cup of coffee.


I wasn't allowed to see what she was working on, I just get what she promised me: the view of the city.


So I spent my time observing outside, and when we get hungry, she orders pizza.


Coffee and Pizza are the only things her body survives on.


After two weeks of visiting her studio, she told me that she finished the work.


I haven't dreamt before about seeing an art piece out of rating and beyond fascinating.


I have been to exhibitions before, saw a lot of people criticize pieces of Art.


I saw chefs d'œuvre like the pieces made by Picasso, Davincci, Monet, Salvador Dali, Van Gogh and so on, from different schools, cubism, surrealism, and so on.


But the piece of Art that was in front of me in the center of the exhibition haul, and surrounded by so much people from high society and experts of arts, was beyond our imagination.


She worked on it while we shared the same space, and still, I wondered how she did it.


It was a mixture of heavenly colors, brilliant, cold and bright, and I still wonder how a human brought such different colors to make a synchronized work, because if a chef was to mix in a lot of different spices, the taste will get lost and its gonna be aweful, and I understood how much of an admired and qualified artist she was just hearing people around me talking about her.


Autumn never guard one of her work, all of them have been sold at a so high price, and still, she decided to not sell this one.


She just wanted people to see how much a soul is fascinating.


No one was allowed to take pictures, and people entering this side of the exhibition haul was limited VVIP, and I was there, looking at them getting fascinated by my soul that she drew, and all the time, she was there, beside her piece of art getting all the attention and still, she was acting coldly towards them, but once our eyes met, she smiled faintly and I felt my heart skip a beat.


By the end of the event, everyone left, and she packed the art piece and was about to put it in the car when she stopped suddenly and returned to face me.


-"What do you think about it?" She asked suddenly.


-"To tell you the truth, I never knew that you saw my soul on that light, I am amazed, your hands are magical" I said with a smile.


-"I saw you last time writing on a blog, you are allowed to publish anything about this work, and...I would ask you, what would you do with it?" She said in a strange way.


-"Don't tell me you get attached to my soul?" I said with a laugh, and it was meant as a joke, but I saw a faint blush on her cheeks, and I stopped suddenly.


-"Shut up!" She said with fake annoyance.


-"Autumn, would you miss me if I go?" I asked taking a step forward.


-"Shut up! As if! And still, I'll have your soul, I won't give it to you! And don't forget to bring me two cups of coffee from the coffee shop tomorrow, and you can disappear after" she said angrily and she was so cute.


She walked away gracefully with her beautiful black dress and high heels, and I could hear her muttering.


-"Heh! Stuuupid, me? Missing him?! In his dreams, I'll keep his soul hostage and he won't even be able to walk away" she was muttering and reached the car, put the work on the backseats carefully and went to the driver seat and drove away.


I swear, arrogance sweets her.
