Soul Painter

Ana Armas.

twenty-two years old.

She received her bachelor's degree in Mathematics from the University of Cambridge, UK, and her doctoral degree in Painting from the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in the UK. At the same time, she also taught herself more than ten languages ​​in various countries, and she can use them proficiently in life and research.

From mathematics to art, Ana Armas has made a professional leap that ordinary people can't imagine.

Those who know her well call her a "Rain Man" genius.

Because Ana Armas, like the "Rain Man" in the movie, suffers from a rare genius-like disease "Scholar Syndrome".

Ana Armas has rich associative ability to numbers, and numbers have colors and flavors in her eyes, so she obtained amazing attainments in the field of mathematics, and then she turned her attention to painting, which is more satisfying for her to understand this The desire of the world, and then she discovered that the lines and colors in the paintings are actually digital.

That is to say, Ana Armas is a genius who possesses the dual perspective conversion of 'mathematics' and 'painting'. She paints in a mathematical way, and the details can be processed to ten digits after the decimal point, which can be transferred to the brush strokes. It is surprisingly delicate.

At the same time, this also gives her a strong ability to imitate, given her time, she can copy any great work of an artist in the world, except for the difference in the canvas dye, everything else is close to perfection.

Most of George Baselitz's later works were completed by Ana Armas, including the "Battle of Creation" that participated in the selection activities of the Gardner Museum. Without the coordination of Ana Armas, it is difficult to imagine several How painters work together to complete a large-scale work in the style typical of Georges Baselitz.

If George Baselitz is the trump card for SUN CLUB to complete the elk portrait, then Ana Armas is the trump card. Unfortunately, due to the conspiracy of the gravediggers, Ana Armas failed to reach Mitt Village. However, if If Gao Fan can reproduce the portrait of the elk cat, then Ana Armas can reproduce Gao Fan.

Therefore, the members of SUN CLUB are still full of confidence in George Baselitz's trip.

But in the next call, they found that George's expression was very helpless.

"How is your apprenticeship going?" Ms. J.K. asked him.

"Please don't call Miss Ana Armas my apprentice." George said helplessly, "She has changed her idol now."

George is in the pure white church at the moment. This is the first day they arrived. In George's camera, the members of the SUN CLUB found that the young painter they had high hopes for was whispering with their killer, Miss Anna. The status is very intimate.

...

Gao Fan drew a line on the white paper and asked Anna: "What is this?"

"a line."

Gao Fan drew another line on the white paper and asked Anna, "What about this one?"

"The sound of the flute." Anna's voice was full of confusion.

Gao Fan drew another line on the white paper and asked again, "What about this one?"

"A river, or a boat, or everything." Behind Anna's thick glasses, there were big question marks in her eyes.

She couldn't imagine why the painter in front of her could make her feel the sound and picture with just three simple lines, which surpassed all her previous experience.

"Great~" Gao Fan applauded, pointing to the three lines and said, "This is old George's level, this is my level, and this is Monet's level."

"Why old George's lines are lines, and your lines are voices, and Monet's lines are everything? Is it magic?" Anna asked.

"Because old George is an ordinary master, I am a master who is establishing a school, and Monet is a master of the generation of Xiaoao Jianghu." Gao Fan said, "Do you understand Xiaoao Jianghu?"

Anna shook her head. She knew Chinese, but she didn't understand these allusions, let alone martial arts.

"It's fine, you don't need to understand, just follow me and be my assistant, I need your ability." Gao Fan said to Anna.

"Okay." Anna nodded, and she looked at Gao Fan with admiration, just like when she first experienced the profound meaning of mathematics, like when she first learned from George Baselitz's painting, When reading out a mathematical formula, in her eyes at this moment, Gao Fan's paintings seem to be a set of irrational numbers, but also like the general solution of the universe.

...

"Look, I lost my apprentice." George Baselitz, who was called 'Old George' by the two, said to the SUN CLUB crowd, "Gao must have used magical oriental witchcraft on Anna, I think I have to Hurry up and get out of here, or I will become his believer."

Everyone comforted him, "You at least sent Gao an assistant, so his creative speed should at least double."

"I hope you are satisfied with his creative speed. According to my opinion, he is doing an interesting experiment. He is trying to combine his painting method with Monet's to create a completely new technique." George Baselitz Said, "This process is destined to be long, I hope you have enough confidence."

"After he possesses higher skills, his works will satisfy God more. We just need to know this." Ms. J.K said.

...

The arrival of Anna will indeed speed up Gao Fan's creation speed.

This genius has a unique ability to imitate and learn. Gao Fan first used the 'distortion' technique to create a line drawing of the "Portrait of a Elk Cat". On 40X60 paper, it took him three days. The last time It took a full fifteen days to create this manuscript in London. The reduction in time was due to the increase in the skill value of 'Distortion'.

After handing over the draft to Anna, Anna and Gao Fan will complete the drawing of the line draft on the church wall at the same time.

Now, Govan is Monet and Anna is Govan.

They will use both 'distortion' and 'microcosmic' techniques at the same time to complete the painting of "The Elk Cat Portrait", but this is only the first step. The master's skills are integrated into one, turning Monet's into his own, sublimating his own, truly worthy of the name and standing on the shoulders of the predecessors.

Anna's imitation of Gao Fan did not go well.

Her inability to comprehend a slight difference in brushstrokes would make the lines ordinary, losing their magic to distort human perception.

Gao Fan took the trouble to teach her and correct every stroke of her pen, but it still made Anna feel frustrated. Her talent allowed her to quickly reach the full value in various fields, including mathematics, language and art, but she wanted to do it again. But when you go further, you will encounter terrible obstacles.

This obstacle may be called the barrier between 'humanity' and 'divinity'.

On the morning of the third day after Anna arrived, Gao Fan saw Anna leaning on the wall, hugging her legs and crying until she almost collapsed outside the church. Learning the creative technique of "distortion" made her collapse.

"Pain is right." Gao Fan whispered in her ear, "Pain is the price you pay for turning from a human into a god."
