Lately my paintings are loosely based on this magical things I encounter by chance and my mind turns them into a city I would love to visit.
There is still time to win a sketchbook painted by yours truly!

Oh Maps!
I have a passion for maps! I always manage to find cities and far away places in shadows, sunsets, water puddles...the list will go on and on. I used to have a blog, were I started sharing this "subway gems"- thats how I called them; they are basically just rust and paint over paint and somehow they really fascinate me! Like finding an island in the middle of nowhere!

Like the wonderful Google Earth, the aerial views and satellite views of this entire planet inspire me to paint accessible places- the ones you can go to by just looking and having a mental vacation.

I can't believe this!!! One of my favorite things in the world are maps. I go crazy for them. When I was a kid my aunt used to have a world map, one of this rounded ones, and I could stay the whole day staring at it and studying it (no idea what I aimed to find). As a teenager, for one of my birthdays, I asked my aunt to get me a world map just as hers. Oh I was so happy! Unfortunately, due to my nomad life, my beautiful world map is inside a box at my parents' in Cali!
ReplyDeleteAs i am so obsessed with maps in general, one of my best friends, baptized me miss map and this is how he has been calling me for years.
I can't believe I hadn't seen this comment! Or maybe I did? We have yet another topic for conversation! And one this days then I will certainly show you my collection of maps and the paintings that go along with them...Miss Map what a wonderful name to be called, I think I will borrow it!
