#naïve

I lover her and she's the sweetest, but her naïvety is going to cost a lot. I hope she gets more wisdom by the end of the season.

Theophilos (GR, Mytilene, 1873-1934)

Evzonas with rifle, ca. 1934 Τσολιάς με τουφέκι Oil painting on cardboard, 61 x 31 cm MOMus-Museum of Contemporary Art

In 1936 Tériade's exhibition of the painter in Paris, Le Corbusier wrote:

"He is a painter born from the Greek landscape. Through Theophilos, here is the landscape and the people of Greece: red soil, pine forest and olive grove, sea and mountains of the gods, people bathing in a boldly dangerous ease"

It’s naïve so much

1. you can do bad things and not be a “bad person”; you can make choices that ultimately fuck over other people without you having any intention to hurt them. you might not even have considered that it might due to the intensity of the situation or being caught up in your own feelings. this can happen to anyone, and these instances can be hard to own up to. we haven’t had the chance to see him take ownership of anything yet bc he’s literally just found out how bad he fucked up

2. sometimes overwhelming emotions and new situations can cloud your judgment or make you act differently than you otherwise might. Fear, anxiety and infatuation are hells of a drug respectively; combine them and yeesh what a time

3. you can sometimes say things or do things that can be manipulative or offensive and not know for a variety of reasons, be that inexperience, naïveté, or misunderstanding people’s feelings/intentions/backgrounds. but you do have to try to correct it once you realize what you’ve done, and stolas tries in his own way to correct where he went wrong

4. yes, people do sometimes cheat on partners because they feel unloved and unsupported in relationships but don’t believe they have the agency to leave (be that from fear, concerns for children, etc.). is it the right decision? nope, not at all, please just break up with your partners if you don’t like them. but it does happen and i think it at the very least makes for an interesting starting point for a character whose developmental arc includes learning how to make his own choices and how to have a healthy relationship

This painting is by Montserrat Aleix (Palamós, Catalonia 1908 - Mexico DF 2004), a Catalan woman who had to go on exile after the fascists’ victory in the Spanish Civil War, in 1939. She moved to Mexico, where she lived for the rest of her life.

She started to paint when she was 64 years old, in a characteristic naïve style that mixed Catalan and Mexican influences.

Les presento a Xolur (un tipo de "peluche(?)) un simple malabarista, a Naïve el ilusionista del circo digital y por último a Desiree, una bailarina equilibrista
