During the past few years, artist Lala Drona has surprised and stunned us with her artwork and unconventional artistic philosophy. However, we rarely ask 
about the inspiration behind such products. The concept of the muse originates from Greek mythology; they are the goddesses which inspire literature, science and the arts.
Some famous muse/artist duos to be noted are Dalí and his wife Gala, Jack Kerouac and Neal Cassady, and Robert Mapplethorpe and Patti Smith. Although the modern day use of the term muse describes someone or something that inspires an artist writer or musician, Lala Drona has taken the concept a bit further.
In The Lala World (Lala Drona’s artistic universe), muses are consultants that provide a service to artists and individuals. 
Before Muses created their own unions, there were neither official contracts nor protection provided to them by the State. After much struggle, legislation was passed to give Muses rights and compensation for their work. However, some artists and muses continue to work off the books and receive their compensation under the table. Lala Drona and her Muses are some of the few who continue this tradition.
Why would artists and Muses prefer to keep their business off the books? Perhaps artists and muses with unconventional artistic practices don’t want the authorities affecting their processes. Perhaps certain muses and artists negotiate non-monetary compensation for their services? Penelope from The Penelope Show explores the concept of muse with Muse Pink, a muse known to have worked with artist Lala Drona. See the video below.
