Agony and Ecstasy- The Visions of a Young Painter

I balance the world on my toes

I take the pain-

Yet, I rise

I fall

Yet again, I rise

I treat the two imposters, just the same

For, I know that I need to rise

As my world beckons me,

Again and Again

Bereft of worries and full of Joy.

Determination and perseverance are the keys to success in any field of life. This is best personified in the dance form of classical ballet. It is known for its aesthetics and rigorous technique it’s flowing precise movements and its ethereal qualities. The artist has captured the details so well that, the picture resonates the triumph of joy over pain.
