Inspiration

Dear friends. Of all the muses, my favorite is Terspihora and Rafale's artwork.

I love dance and music. It's healing. Through different cultures, people combine certain types of music with certain colors. Music influences us to think about colors, so it is often the inspiration for many works of art. Listen to music every day to make your life more beautiful and fulfilling! And dance!

Terpsichora in Greek mythology, one of the 9 muses, is the patroness of singing and dancing. Most often shown with a lyre in his hands and in a dance step.

The muses are the daughters of the supreme Greek god Zeus and Mnemosyne, the goddess of poetry, art and science. - There are nine of them and they are: Talia, Urania, Melpomene, Polychimnia, Erato, Kaliopa, Clio, Euterpa and Terpsichore.Terpsichore is the "Muse of dance, music and choral lyrics".  Her name means “The one who loves to play”. She is shown covered with wreaths of flowers, a laurel wreath on her head, playing and playing the harp, sitting.

There are beliefs that whoever repeats the names of the muses in this order cannot be wrong. Because the initial letters of the muse's name in Latin (in this order) give the expression:  Tumm Pecet, which means Let him sin or Then let him sin!Muses come when we are ready for them, when we roll up our sleeves and put on "work" pants. No fear of error.Inspiration is a mysterious phenomenon, which simply happens or does not happen. It has long been known that inspiration occurs in the female gender.Everyone was happy when the muses fell in love, because even though there is sadness and pain, when the Muses sing, everything disappears. However, they also severely punish those who dare to compete with them in singing. Thus, the Piarids were turned into birds, mermaids were left without feathers, and the singer Tamiri was left without sight and a gift for singing.Before you start any work, say "Tum Peccet" out loud, relax and enjoy your work. Although she is invisible, your Muse is always by your side.

In history, in addition to these goddesses, there have been many mortal women who have inspired artists. Some were their life companions, some just unfulfilled dreams, some friends or mistresses, some worthy, and some unworthy of the importance and role that artists attached to them.

Laura

Hidden in the image of that muse was a certain Laura de Noves who married Hugo de Sade in 1325. Whether it was about that or some other woman, she inspired Petrarch throughout her life, she inspired his work in the vernacular, while there is no echo of that love in his Latin work. The poet wrote that he saw her for the first time in the church of St. Chiara in Avignon, on the morning of April 6, 1327. Sonnet no. 61

Gala

Not only was she a muse, but she was also a conceptual artist and performer herself who went ahead of her time, so she significantly influenced the creation of Dali’s creative works.

Pablo Picasso had 7 muses and I will present two.

He dedicated works of art to everyone. He also had children with some of them.

Fernanda Olivije

Fernando Olivier was Picasso's first real and great love. Impressed by Fernando, a bit sluggish and confused, Picasso abandons poetic romanticism and indulges in the dynamism of modern Paris. During 1906, he resided with her in the Spanish village of Gosol, where he made over 60 portraits of her in which he combined her sensual appearance and the traditional cubist architecture of the village.

Olga Hohlova

Picasso's marriage to Ukrainian ballerina Olga Khokhlov, made in 1918 at the Russian Orthodox Church in Paris, coincided with a complete reversal in his creative work - from a world-changing abstraction to relatively conservative neoclassicism.

In 1921, Olga gave birth to Picasso's first son, Paul, and then Picasso's work turned to the theme of mother and child.

I would like to know who is your inspiration in life ?!
