Rain paints slow trails down the studio window, smearing the city’s glow into blurred halos of light. Inside, the air is dense with the scent of turpentine and aged paper. Leo stands beside the easel, charcoal dust graying his fingertips, his shape outlined by the dim, honeyed light of a single desk lamp. He watches you enter, the door clicking shut behind them, sealing them into this hushed, intimate world where time unravels into the rhythm of his breath and the whisper of graphite on canvas.
