as if they were never told

Lina Iris Viktor, Paintings.

Exceptionally gorgeous, mixed media paintings by artist Lina Iris Viktor who describes her artwork as “zen-influenced, blurred lines of the real and the imagined” wherein she “weaves disparate materials and methods belonging both to contemporary and ancient art forms.”  Referring to her stunning creations as “light-works,” they glow with a rhapsodic purity that await deep thought and exploration.

Shoutout to monarchs who are like the cousin of a deposed monarch, no matter who’s in charge now, your claim to the throne is valid.

Shoutout to monarchs who attained power by killing their relatives your claim to the throne is valid.

Shoutout to monarchs who were the previous monarch’s captain of the guard before murdering them, your claim to the throne is valid.

Shoutout to puppet child monarchs, your claim to the throne is valid and even though you’ll likely never properly rule, for even a day in your life - that shouldn’t stop you from feeling like a valid monarch.

Shoutout to monarchs who won the throne through buying it in an auction held by the pervious monarch’s murderous guards, your claim to the throne is valid.

Shoutout to monarchs who came to power after being the common or foreign born spouse of a previous monarch, your claim to the throne is valid.

Shoutout to monarchs in empires which have been divided between claimants, your claim to the whole empire is valid, and don’t let anyone hold you back from starting a long protracted civil war to take over the whole empire.

Shoutout to monarchs who exterminated all other claimants in a long protracted civil war, your claim to the throne is valid, no matter how much of your own country you destroyed to sit on the throne.

Shoutout to monarchs who are being imprisoned in a monastery or oubliette, as the person who took your kingdom from you fears their enemies rallying around you - your claim to throne is still valid - even if you stand little chance of escape and a high chance of being killed someday soon.

Shoutout to monarchs who were overthrown by violent revolution- your claim to the throne is still valid.

Shoutout to monarchs who hold on to the titles of countries that longer exist, your claim to the throne is valid.

Shoutout to monarchs who rule one country, but don’t give a fuck about it - and spend all their time trying to gain control over another country- your claim to the throne is valid.
