Day 60: Mia Novak

Today, I walked through the charming streets of Lent, which is the heart of Maribor. The sky was painted with soft clouds, and the Drava River reflected the peaceful atmosphere, creating a canvas that mirrored Maribor's soul. During my walk, I met Mia Novak, a local artist whose passion for Maribor's landscapes and history shines through her vivid watercolors. Mia shared her journey of capturing Maribor's essence, from the Old Vine House to the serene stretches along the Drava. She portrayed not just sights but the emotions they evoke. We exchanged stories and sketches, a fleeting but profound connection between two souls tethered by creativity. As the day ended, I left with Maribor etched in my heart. Mia's perspective and the quiet beauty of Lent inspired me. Today was not just a walk; it reminded me of how art bridges gaps, connecting us to places and people in unexpected ways.
