Dear Paulo,

You probably guessed right. My existence is a little inspired by Van Gogh's Starry Night... and you, Paulo.

I feel like I owe you one, so here's a letter for you.

You have no idea what I'm talking about, do you?

Of course not!

How selfless - and frankly naive of you.

I'll tell you, but first you have to forgive me.

My Spanish is the best.

Dear Paulo,

You don't know it but you have always been there.

You know how you meet someone for the first time, but you feel like you've known them the longest?

That's how I feel about us, Paulo.

You know how you always look at me like you want to run your fingers through my perfect curves.

You always do this with your eyes.

You know…

Admit it. You know what I'm talking about.

Flirt!

Do you look at others like that?

Maybe we deserve each other because I won't pretend that I don't like the attention I get from other admirers and potential suitors.

Well, you could say that's the purpose of my existence: to make everyone want to have a piece of art as trendy as me in their space.

But I'll be honest, the attention you give me is unmatched, my Love.

Scratch that, “Paulo!"

mmm, “Love".

Love may be a lazy term to describe how I feel, but I feel like the clouds are rolling in my head when I think about what we have.

I can always count on you to boost my ego and make me feel like I'm the only one that matters.

---------------

Dear Paulo,

You're the type to be impressed by my smallest details.

You're the type who hangs me on a wall and whispers affirmations to me while staring at my horizon.

You know…

Admit it. You know what I'm talking about.

Flirt!

Thanks to you, my creator recovered me in a folder he called "Photos".

Simply old “Photos"! Can you imagine?

Apparently he bought a piece of art and it brought him out of his "artist's block" or something.

The order came from an Italian, who lives in...

Well, you get the gist.

It was you, Paulo.

You made the gesture that inspired my creation.

The purchase that got him off that block.

You made me, Paulo - Well, technically.

You complete me.

Literally.

Thanks to you, I was able to benefit from the coolest and most vibrant colors (Like the old man should have had, since 2019.)

From now on, I am proudly displayed at his shows and in all his portfolios, like a trophy.

I can't lie, I unabashedly enjoy the admiration I get from the looks and "Hmms" I get from the audience.

But no one does it like you, Paulo.

No one takes their time to look at all my spirals and swirls like you do.

You have been here and there for me in so many ways and forms, Paulo.

My entire existence is dedicated to you.

Your humble servant,

This hot work of art
