#2 How to Train Your Narcissist [Masquerade]

Hello, you puny yet infinitely precious souls! Here it is: the second episode in my series on the art I still have available for sale. Apparently, this one, about a painting I finished in 2017, titled Masquerade, wanted to be a whole lecture… So be it.I talk about narcissism, shame, guilt, remorse, and self-love. I do hope it helps someone. Any feedback, question, suggestion etc.? Do get in touch. The whole point of this thing is connection. And even more importantly: take good care of your gorgeous selves.You can view the work here.If you enjoy it, do subscribe on RSS.com, Spotify, Apple, or on whatever podcast platform you favor… And shoot me a message if you have any question or remark. I’d be touched.Check out the available works gallery.
