Looking at Harvey, who had completely stopped painting, Luo Yan didn't expect him to get so excited. So, relying on the little impression he had left and his skill in nonsense, he casually said.
"So-called abstract art... is an artistic style that transcends concrete depiction. It doesn't attempt to portray objective external things but expresses the inner world in a free and subjective way. Through the combination of colors, lines, and structures, it allows the viewer to directly feel the artist's emotions, thoughts, and even subconscious."
"Simply put, most paintings depict the objective world through the painter's hand, but this type of art genre uses the imagery of the objective world to portray the artist's inner world."
Looking at the silent Harvey, Luo Yan couldn't help but wonder if he had overstepped his bounds, so he cleared his throat and said.
"These are just so superficial insights from an amateur, and I'm rely repeating what I've learned from others. Mr. Harvey, there's no need to mind—"
"No, Your Highness, your explanation is simply... enlightening! This is the answer I've been pondering through ditation for years and couldn't find! Abstract art uses objective things to depict the inner world of the artist, rather than simply imitating natural things. So this is the explanation..." Harvey mumbled, his fervent expression almost like madness, making Luo Yan worry about his ntal state.
"Are you... okay?" Luo Yan cautiously asked.
For the sake of Saint Sis, he never intended to lead the Imperial art world astray; those lifeless Nobles were his real targets of corruption.
He never intended to corrupt this guy!
However, Harvey seed to have fallen into it, lost in the deconstruction of the spiritual world and exploration of artistic theory.
Just as Luo Yan was pondering whether he should do sothing, Harvey suddenly took a deep breath and cald down.
"? I'm fine! I'm doing great!"
Luo Yan was slightly taken aback, watching as he suddenly picked up his brush and swiftly completed the unfinished parts of the canvas.
Generally speaking, do oil paintings get finished so quickly?
Just as Luo Yan was puzzled, Harvey turned the canvas over, showing Luo Yan the result of his painting—there in the fra sat a gentle yet dignified Prince, exuding an aura befitting a ruler of over seven million square kiloters.
Without a doubt, it was a masterpiece!
Yet—
It was nothing more.
Though lifelike, it was just another piece among thousands, an ornant to the Hillfin family's wings, insufficient to leave a mark on history.
Clearly, this was not Baron Mitiya's pursuit!
Harvey looked up at Luo Yan, his gaze sincere, even pleading.
"Your Highness, the piece commissioned by Count Casite Hillfin is complete, but I wish to... create another piece for you! To use the abstract art concept you ntioned, as a gift for you!"
Worried that Luo Yan might refuse, he hurriedly added.
"Rest assured, it won't take much of your ti. I have etched your portrait deeply in my mind; you just need to answer a few questions for ."
Luo Yan raised an eyebrow, intrigued, with a hint of curiosity in his expression.
"Please, go ahead."
Seeing Luo Yan agree, Harvey, amidst his surprise, took another deep breath, putting away his delighted expression, seriously looking at him, focusing on those deep purple eyes.
"First, please tell Your Highness' favorite color, which will determine the entire painting's color palette!"
Favorite color?
Luo Yan had never considered such an odd question but found it unexpectedly interesting, so he didn't answer imdiately but gave it so serious thought.
Suddenly, a thought crossed his mind, and a playful smile curled up at the corner of his mouth.
"Fla."
Harvey was taken aback.
He had thought the answer would be purple or black, colors he had seen from his shadow, but instead, it was fire.
"Fla...?"
Luo Yan nodded with pleasure.
"Yes, that's my most adept Magic."
"I like its color."
