In Search of Beauty

Adam stares at the beauty in front of him. The colors explode like wild art, full of brilliance. He looks deep into her elegant eyes—eyes that seem to speak the more you look at them. With a finely-pointed nose and lips of scarlet wine, he takes a deep breath and throws the paintbrush hard against the wall.

"This is not art!" he shouted in disgust. "It needs more life."

It is around 7 in the morning. Adam sits on the couch wearing his evening robe, exhausted. He stares at his new painting, takes a sip from a bottle of whiskey that he has been drinking through the night, slowly closes his eyes and falls asleep.

Adam's room is a house of books enough to fill his sleep with dreams. His collections are composed of fairy tales, lyrics, ballads, and poems. Various artworks can be seen hanging on the walls. Without a doubt, among all the things and subjects of the world, it is literature that he holds closest to his heart. In fact, it appears that he has already transcended reality that nothing in the gross material world seems to please him anymore. And, no—this is not completely good, because although it seems that his soul is full of meaning, it also shows that this mortal life no longer satisfies him. Every night, he tries to paint what he thinks to be the truest art, which he believes to be the beauty of a woman. However, he has a quite different notion of what beauty is. To him, true beauty is in the soul, and he wants to express this beauty through his painting. But, can a man really turn a soul into a tangible work of art?

In Search of Beauty tells of the story of Adam, a passionate artist who tries to find and capture true beauty through his painting. One day, his artwork turns into flesh and shows him what he has been missing…
