Why We Choose To Live Slowly (And Paint) | Nicole Schyns & Lena Rossi

[@nicoleschyns]

Which one of Lena's many beautiful sentences stood out to you the most 🥰? I am beyond excited about this collab! I absolutely love how Lena was able to put into words what slow living means in many areas of our life, not only as a lifestyle but also in the way we make choices and can create an intentional interior. It was such a huge pleasure to visit Lena and immerse myself into the beauty of her art, her studio and home. Lena, you are such a wonderful, warm and kind soul - creating this film was such a huge pleasure 🥰

I can't express how grateful I am to Nicole for this incredibly beautiful film. It is truly a gift to have had you here and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your fine, highly professional and creative way of capturing this insight into our home, my studio and my thoughts. Dear Nicole, you are a great artist on the canvas and behind the camera! 🫶🏼

Is it a choice? Or is it something you can do because of socio-economic privilege? I think most people would love to live like this but simply can't.

[@nicoleschyns]

I believe it is a choice. Of course this choice is easier made in one country than the other. And every choice comes with consequences. If living slowly is one's top priority, it might mean that one has to move to a different country, move further away from family, live in a smaller house, never drive that dream car etc. . I like to believe everything is possible if you really r e a l l y want it. However it might not be possible without sacrifices.
