Maurizio D’Andrea: Between Art, Psychology, and Symbol - An International Journey
Maurizio D’Andrea is an artist who resists simple definitions. Writer, painter, and visual researcher, his creative identity is born from the intersection of worlds that seem distant at first glance: science, psychology, philosophy, and art. With a degree in science with a specialization in volcanology, for many years he combined his work as a programmer and technology consultant with a constant exploration of aesthetic and symbolic research. Today, his life is entirely dedicated to art, understood not as mere image-making, but as a space of investigation of the unconscious and a performative stage for the symbol.

My First Impression of Famous Impressionist Painters
The letter "i" stands for "I'm impressed." The term “impressionism” was first used in 1874, and its initial usage was not very complimentary. A critic was making a sarcastic remark about one of Monet's landscape paintings. Not allowing an unfavorable judgment to cramp his style, Claude Monet (1840 – 1926), working with Pierre Auguste Renoir (1841 – 1919), developed the technique of broken-color painting. These two artists are recognized as the founders of the art form known as Impressionism.

Echoes in Color
In Lahore, where the call to prayer weaves through the morning air and rickshaws weave through traffic like stubborn thoughts, lived a boy named Rehan. He was seventeen, soft-spoken, and carried the quiet intensity of someone who sees more than they say. His hands were always stained—blues under the nails, ochre on his wrists, charcoal smudged at the edge of his palm. Paint wasn’t just something he used; it was something he lived with, like breath.

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.

Nighthawks Urban isolation
Nighthawks by Edward Hopper in 1942 is truly one of my favourite paintings of all time. My interpretation of this iconic painting is accurate. Another interpretation of my own is that these people are lost souls and Nighthawks an seemingly unassuming diner is actually purgatory. This painting gives me chills because it’s about isolation in an urban area or rural area you can be isolated anywhere. This artistic triumph holds relevance in today’s world due to our cell phones and social media. Nighthawks is a work of fine art and there is no question about that and Edward Hopper created a masterpiece.

Colors of Her Silence
Meher was never loud. Not in voice, not in presence. As a child, while others ran and laughed, she sat with a pencil and paper, tracing the world around her—the curve of a leaf, the shadow on a wall, the way light fell through the window at different times of day. Words never came easily, but lines did. Colors, too.

The Accidental Artist
Vikram Sharma had never considered himself creative. Not really. Sure, he once tried making samosas from scratch and nearly set off the smoke alarm, but that was more chaos than artistry. At forty, he worked at a bank, wore the same shade of blue shirt every Monday, and found excitement in perfectly aligned sticky notes.

He Knows You’re Looking Back
He Knows You’re Looking Back You didn’t want to paint it. But it waited in your head, breathing. Now it’s here. Bone-white face. Rot-green haze. Black that pulls at the edges of your vision. The eyes don’t just follow you — they hold you.

The Power and Significance of Art in Human Culture
Art has always been a quiet yet powerful companion to humanity. Long before written language, our ancestors left marks on cave walls—handprints, animals, symbols—sharing glimpses of their lives, fears, and dreams. These early expressions weren’t just decoration; they were meaning made visible. That same impulse lives on today, whether in a child’s scribbled drawing, a street musician’s melody, or a carefully crafted novel.
