I did this before I was born...in my next life I will get to choose again.
Next life I would like to be a rainbow. I would like to absorb the power of a rainbow.
Can it be someone who has already died ? I would then say Beethoven...just the talent...just the ability to write beautiful music...
I'd like to have the raw, unfiltered talent of a painter like Basquiat ---- his paintings seem like the visual equivalent of improvisational jazz or something that just comes out of pure expression without all the intellectual filters. Which isn't to suggest that he didn't know what he was doing--he clearly did, but there was a flow to it and it wasn't the kind of methodical painting one would have to do to create the Mona Lisa. Sigh.
Would love to soak up the talent of Claude Monet and his beautiful impressionistic paintings. Would love to soak up the talent of most any classical musician.
my friend sophie. she's an artist( something i have always aspired to be but lacked the talent, hence why i am choosing an artist just now) and has the ability to see people and things for what they really are. none of this cutsey 'what people want to see' art. if she sees an oversized nose and bushy eyebrows, she draws an oversized nose and bushy eyebrows. its reality on a canvas.
