A Spanish phrase that means 'that's the way life is' or 'such is life', often used to express acceptance or resignation towards a difficult or unfortunate situation. The literal translation is 'such is the life of the painter', suggesting that life can be as challenging and unpredictable as the process of painting.
Examples
- Spanish: Perdí mi trabajo, pero así es la vida del pintor. Encontraré otro pronto.
- English: I lost my job, but that's the way life is. I'll find another one soon.
