PAINt
by Lolly Vieira
This piece is a confession.
A scream softened into color.
It is the truth of living inside a body that doesn’t always obey,
a heart that carries both wildfire and flood,
a spirit that rises to bloom
even when the soil is cracked.
Every brushstroke holds a pulse of pain; physical, emotional, and spiritual.
But within the fracture, there is still light.
There is still the river, dammed but not dry.
Hope leaks through in blues and golds,
in the red heartbeat of things unsaid.
This is not just about suffering,
it is about survival.
About how even when life splinters the self,
there is a holy defiance in piecing it back together.
PAINt is not a cry for rescue.
It is a record of resilience.
A reminder that pain interrupts,
but it also reveals and softens.
It is in the rupture
where something stronger begins.

The Scream by Edvard Munch is one of my favourite paintings
The Scream by Edvard Munch is another one of my favourite paintings that is alongside of that of Nighthawks. I have a shirt with The Scream 😱 by Edvard Munch. This painting is absolutely brilliant and amazing. It is a contradiction in a way warm colours but dark and deep subject matter.

Trouble at the Tea Leafing Café
The rain had started right around the time that Annie was buttering her second thick slice of homemade toast for breakfast, and hadn’t paused since. Not that anyone could tell. The windows of the café were fogged over, and with every seat filled with happy customers munching on fresh baked pastries or steaming bowls of the delicious soup of the day, it was hardly surprising. Annie looked around the room, finally taking a moment to breathe after the lunch time rush. Her old life already felt like a bad memory, a part of her history, always, but just that. History.

It’s so true, pain hurts but it also shows how strong we really are.
Such a perfect intertwining of two art forms. Scream softened into color is such an evocative line.
Excellent! 🎨 🖌
