We understood, in a way, that paintings were beautiful. But having art at home felt like something that simply wasn’t for people like us. For the first time, a work of art said something about me. Not about history, not about the artist, but about my inner world. About me.

We live in a moment when artificial intelligence has made visual culture mass-produced and, essentially, cheap. Images, style, and even “beauty” can now be created by anyone — quickly, effortlessly, and with nothing at stake. When everything became accessible, it stopped being a luxury.
