About this audiobook
A painter trades his wife’s spirit for the vibrancy of his art, stroke by obsessive stroke. As the colors on the canvas flush with life, the woman in the chair turns to marble, sacrificed to the immortality of the image. It serves as a dark warning about the consuming nature of artistic perfection.
