Azief had never liked art. To him, art is simply equal to fraud. It did not do anything for the people. It did not fill a starving stomach and it could not be used to make shelter
It had no purpose.
As for beauty that people raved about in art, he could see it every day when he opens his eyes, looks out the window and see the sun rising, seeing the birds flying in the sky, the clouds moving pushed by the winds, the waves that kiss the shore, the green of the forest, the majestic beauty of mountains…. the beauty of nature.
When you see it, you find no other painting that could beat it.
But…. because Katarina likes it, he made the effort.
He became patrons of artist in Pandemonium and he even set aside some budgets for art related project, he collects beautiful painting and even sometimes bought some of the painting that is painted by the Immortal Couple.
