The Art of the Soul: Why I’m Moved by Marc Chagall

We’ve all had those moments where we’re wandering through a museum, and suddenly, the world around us just... fades. For me, that moment happened at the Royal Academy in London. I found myself standing in front of Marc Chagall’s work, and before I knew it, I was moved to tears.


My Favourite Inspirational Art Piece: The Apparition

Marc Chagall - The Apparition

The painting I’ve shared here is my absolute favourite. There is an incredible, raw energy in the way Chagall captures the moment of inspiration.

  • The Emotion: You can almost feel the weight of the "apparition" or the muse as it descends.

  • The Palette: The ethereal blues and the dreamlike, cubist geometry create a space that feels more like a memory or a prayer than a physical room.

  • The Connection: For me, it’s about that overwhelming feeling of being visited by a big idea or a powerful emotion—something so large it’s almost frightening, yet beautiful.


Chagall had this unique ability to weave folklore, romance, and deep spirituality into his work. When I look at this, I don’t just see paint on a canvas; I see a soul laid bare.


This is why I’m Moved by Marc Chagall


Now, I Want to Hear from You!


Art is such a personal journey, and what moves one person might be totally different for another. I’m curious to know what speaks to you:

  1. Who is your favorite artist? (Are you a fan of the classics, or do you prefer contemporary creators?)

  2. What is your "crying in a gallery" piece of art? That one work that makes you feel seen or understood.
