Da Vinci

The Leonardo Da Vinci we know now and how we know him was not the person he was while alive. We see him as a genius, brilliant and maybe even flawless. 

The reality is that he struggled in his own way with his personal demons. Persecuted, tortured soul, and in search for meaning. Dedicated to his craft, doubtful about his own work as he edited and reedited. When painting the Mona Lisa he didn’t know he was painting the Mona Lisa. 

The tragedy and paradox is that we only see with clarity after a choice is made, not before.
