Line at Time

The painting "Line at Time" is the famous debut of artist Shreya from Taranaphul. It has inspired many an artist during its life and it has been through a lot since its creation.

History

The painting was finished in the year 178, while Shreya from Taranaphul was working as an assistant to a carpenter in Taranaphul, the capital of Depavata. It is unknown how long the artist had been working on it though.
Not long after its creation it was bought by a noble couple living close to the old palace. This is the couple who sponsored Shreya's work for the coming years as well.
When she left their home five years later the painting was sold to a merchant from Kaeeche who took the strange new painting with him back to his home country where it traded hands many a time.
The whereabouts of the painting is unknown for the following fifty years. It didn't pop up again until after yet another war with Axarsú when a captain from the Depavatan army found the painting in an abandoned house and took it home as a present to his wife. By now the name Shreya had become a lot more famous and when they realised what they had gotten they couldn't keep their mouths shut about it.
The family kept the painting for another three decades before it was donated to the council of Taranaphul, where it is now on display at the council house.

The painting

The painting is an abstract work of art, with bold and plentiful colours. As such it is not the most easy thing to describe. The artist herself once said:

Time is such a fleeting thing, repeating in circles but always moving forward. It has always fascinated me. I wanted to try and capture this hypocrisy of it withing a picture, to somehow make sense of something nonsensical.
