It prefers understatement to drama, irony to explanation, and self-mockery to self-importance. It smiles politely while touching uncomfortable truths — about life, relationships, work, emotions, and the human tendency
If Gustav Klimt were alive today, he would probably not have Instagram. Or perhaps he would — but with a single image. No caption. Comments disabled. And yet everyone would still spend hours discussing what he meant. Klimt would have enjoyed that. Quietly. From a distance. From model student to elegant
If Michelangelo Buonarroti were alive today, he would probably despise social media, refuse interviews, argue endlessly with patrons by email, and create his greatest work at three o’clock in the morning — completely alone.

In Marseille, a new exhibition explores something that sounds almost mythical: a volcanic island that appeared, caused excitement — and vanished again.

It sounds great, doesn’t it? Almost like a motivational poster: “Never give up!” You feel an urge to straighten your back, clench your fists, and march forward… somewhere. The only problem is: where exactly? Because if we never give up, that usually means we’re fighting. And if we’
INSIDE is not a magazine for quick answers. It is for people who prefer thinking over repeating, feeling over functioning, and who understand that life is rarely perfect — but often wonderfully, intelligently funny.
