Once again, Bored Panda reached out to Hassan Hassnaoui to learn more about "Stupid Art". We were curious about how the artist came up with the idea to add modern text messages to paintings. "It [the idea] originated from my love for art," Hassnaoui shared. "When I look at paintings, I see their gestures and it feels like they're engaging in a conversation. That's what inspired me to put captions on various well-known paintings, expressing what I perceive in them—their emotions, stories, and the dialogue they might be having if they were part of our modern world with texting and messaging."
I use a different version of my personality for everyone I know so they'll like me this is compltely normal and healthy I'm sure
Hassnaoui finds inspiration in everyday events that he believes his fans will connect with. "The toughest part is choosing the right painting that captures the message I have in mind. Even the smallest details, like gestures or facial expressions, can help people understand what I meant."
Yes! Let’s reverse the whole thing—-2 consecutive days working no more than 8 hours per day, and 5 whole consecutive days off. We are not going to put up with that b******t of split days off. No F*****g Way! It would also create more jobs, BUT we should ALL still be paid a full week’s salary. So much more would be accomplished and finished if we could have long stretches of downtime to recover every single week.
Hassnaoui's captions often touch on everyday life and small problems. He shared that he views his art as a vehicle for social commentary. "I aim to consistently communicate reportable messages and observations about the everyday challenges we face. This approach allows my audience to feel a deeper connection both to me and to the essence of my work."
I still have to pay to sleep. I blame the people who can fall asleep at the drop of a hat.

This should be taught to every person before high-school graduation to women especially.
I can be brutally honest with myself, and I will own my mistakes. My flaws and faults too. I will try to work on them and be better, but as a human being, I cannot achieve perfection. Nor would I even want to, as perfection is boring. However, that won’t stop me from continuing to work on being a better human being.
But also remember that quality people's priorities change sometimes too
It is much more fun than reality. Have you seen reality lately it is a total c**p storm.
A lot of these are old ads from say the 1920s or the like, in case you were wondering...if you weren't good on ye mate
No, not always. However, there’s a big difference between alone and lonely. I have been both, some know. Alone is a choice, and one you can embrace, enjoy, and be really happy with. Lonely is not a choice, and feels more like a sentence you’re serving in isolation. When you’re lonely, if you had a choice, you would overwhelmingly choose to be around other people, or at least one other person, rather than by yourself.
Absolute truth. You can be lonely in a crowd.

But the beauty of the mind and the richness of the spirit and tenderness of the heart- and I have all of those things- aren’t taken away but grow!” Truer words were never spoken. Long after any of us are considered “beautiful” by the pop culture definition, which has a very short shelf life (and I am including men in this too), or start only being considered attractive “for our age” on the outside (also including men here), we can still be incredibly, stunningly, breathtakingly beautiful INSIDE. Your intrinsic beauty will see you through your entire life, while physical beauty will abandon you long before you’re ready. Therefore, your inner beauty is what you should be focused on, not your outer appearance. If more people followed that principle, we wouldn’t have so many desperate looking older people trying to chase youth with fake “wrinkle erasing” creams, fillers, hair replacements, and surgeries, long LONG after it abandoned them. We would, however, have people taking better care of themselves their entire lives, then embracing their ages and growing old gracefully. They would genuinely be so much MORE beautiful for it, too—-to the point where the tables would turn, the young and beautiful would envy the old and beautiful, and do their best to emulate them as they too grow old.
The great benefit to now, is that all the previous stuff is available. Just because modern dresses look a certain way, the old patterns are still makeable.
