The silence in the art studio was heavy. Daniel, normally so calm, felt a tremor in his hands. He'd discovered that Mark, his artistic rival, wasn't selling his art in exclusive galleries, as he claimed. Instead, he was buying his work from a factory. Daniel picked up his paintbrush and splashed paint, in violent strokes, across the canvas he had been working on for months. He didn’t stop until the canvas was a mess of colors, a testament to his rising internal turmoil.
