Long ago, in a forgotten corner of the ancient world, there was a city built entirely by painters. Every wall was a canvas, every home a gallery. But in this city, one rule was sacred: Never paint eyes that see. You could paint faces. You could paint beauty. But if you painted eyes that felt alive—eyes that watched—you were cursed. Because the city had a secret. Centuries before, the first painter-king had made a deal with a forgotten god. To give his art life. To make beauty eternal. The god agreed… but with a warning: “Paint them, and they will see. See too much—and they will remember what they were.” What were they? Souls. The painter-king’s portraits weren’t just paintings. They were prisons—trapping wandering spirits behind canvas and oil. That’s why the eyes followed you. That’s why some paintings blinked when no one looked. Each brushstroke sealed a memory. A punishment. A person. Over time, the city forgot. But the paintings did not. Then came a girl—young, gifted, rebellious. She painted a boy with the saddest eyes anyone had seen. But she painted too well. Too real. Too deep. She gave him life. That night, the boy in the painting turned his head. And whispered her name. From that moment on, the paintings began to stir. One by one. A twitch of a brow. A tear that never dried. A whisper through the halls. And then… they opened their eyes. The city vanished within a week. Now, across the world, scattered in dusty museums and forgotten halls, the cursed paintings remain. Their eyes always watching. Always remembering. So next time you walk past a portrait, and the gaze feels too real… Ask yourself: What if it’s not painted to look at you… but to find someone? #artmystery #artoftheday #painting #arthistory #brushandtales #fairytalecore #arttoker #canvas #foryoupagе #fyp #artwork #eyes #eye - @brushandtaless
