People's art
I love Latinamerican art.
Is an art full of vivid colors. The art takes the form of everyday objects and in religion objects.
We have been collecting some peaces, in some trips I made, or my husband...
Mexico
Peru
Some photos of my trip to Mexico, where the art is everywhere.
This man you see in the picture decorated his bike. He wasn't the only one I saw. I've been told that it is a tradition, but I don't remember more about it.

This bird did not fly away
I made a new rubber stamp!
The inspiration came from this new little bird I bought for my studio, designed by some fantastic chinese designer.
The work in process.
And the results...

Makeshift curtain
The bathroom of the studio was almost ready. But the door didn't have a curtain!
Some friends were coming... mmm... I needed to improvise something!
With a shawl I made a "curtain"
Must confess, that if you watch with care, you still can see through, but you shouldn't look, right?
Two more images...
I made this with some old necklaces and a piece roof of an olive I took from Croatia.

Frida
Some artists touch me more than others.
Already told you about how much I love Mucha .
Today I want to share with you my love for Frida Kahlo.
When I went to Mexico, I spent a day visiting her blue house and her studio.
Being able to see her art, her staff... influenced me, a lot. She was an intense woman, in a way not so easy to understand... this intensity was present on her art, the way she loved, her commitment to a politic movement she believed in, in the way she sort all her troubles and also in the way she suffer for love.
She was a woman who lived through her art, present even in the way she dressed.
You should also know Diego Rivera, her husband and a fantastic Mexican muralist.
Let's meet Frida today, through some of the pictures of my trip and some links for you to explore.
Diego's studio, San Angel, Mexico DF.

Diego's studio, San Angel, Mexico DF.
Her love for Diego
Her blue house
Her studio in San Angel. Her studio and Diego's were built as separate buildings, joint through stairs.
There is also a great movie, where Salma Hayek plays Frida, and illustrates very well her art, life, passion and also her sadness.
Enjoy!

Lazy Saturday
A beautiful day... I spent all day here and there, doing what I love.
In my studio
Listening to the sound of the water
And painting a little tree for my little princess
In my studio
Reading a book that inspires me
Changing the flowers
Giving and receiving kisses
Watching my husband water the garden
Listening to the sound of the water
Baking a good home made bread to enjoy with friends
And painting a little tree for my little princess

Phrases
I like to be surrounded by phrases, some of them make me think, some of them smile... well, many different feelings.
The little house with the grill (this is Argentina, we eat meat a lot) and my art studio was the perfect place to have them.
From the construction of this little house, some woods were left. Well not so left, I rescued them. They looked used, but this made them more attractive.
I transfer the phrases, paint them with acrylics and a liner and then cut them.

There is another: "Dear mosquitoes, please suck my fat, not my blood". Because thinking isn't everything....
