Bath time stories
The first thing revealed to the observer who contemplates the series Resonances from Valerie Campos is a formal parti pris through which the artist has decided to distort geometrically the immediate reality of the depicted space. We do not need to know with certainty that this space corresponds to the actual place where the painter lives and works—her apartment, her studio—because, using the simple resources of painting, she evokes an intimate environment that asserts itself naturally as hers. Though the furniture, plants, and canvases hanging from this “habitat” are depicted with an impeccable realism, this is not what gives them the supreme reality with which they present themselves to the spectator; instead, it is precisely the fact that, with an ability gained from practicing her craft, the painter deconstructs those objects in a certain number of planes and transparent prisms of which only the edges are visible, indicated by lines that are pale, in general.

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.
Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.
