For
the last week I made a fantastic journey to Barcelona
and Rome . I
changed 6 flights, spent 13 hours in air and had adventures. Somebody had
stolen my cash & my favorite silver bracelet in Barcelona . It was rather a challenge…
But
the main event was great! It was International Art Fair at Casa Batlo –
fabulous palace built by Gaudi. I was lucky to be selected for this exhibition
together with very interesting painters and artists from all over the world.
The
very first day, when we were fixing our pictures on the panels, we helped each
other with nails, screws and made friends.
This
day was not crowded with visitors. Only VIP and invited connoisseurs were
admitted.
My
artworks were placed on the lower level. Unfortunately, there was a dim light
on the ground and our pictures were not shining brightly.
I
created a new artwork for this fair, only 50 cm wide for the small space I had.
It is a “Smiling Cat in Erotic Mood”,
mosaic joyful
animal of polymer clay on glass.
The
glass got cracked in oven, and the second split occurred when I was packing the
picture for the journey. So, I took two of my earlier pictures, now belonging to
other people.
I
choose cats because these downy animals are very easy-to-read for different
shades of nice moods and expressive feelings, quite common to people.
Both
visitors and artists touched my fluffy pictures and smiled. Isn’t it the
highest target of art?
To my
big surprise I got invitation to work in a private architect’s bureau in Italy as the
designer and decorator.
To be
continued…
