ANSELM KIEFEL, ART IN BLOOM, GETTING INSPIRED WITH FLOWERS

 Hi everyone! 





How are you? How's it going? I'm doing well, here a little slow and cloudy, so when the sun comes out I'm really happy.

Today I want to share my inspiration with you, since I went to the St. Louis Museum to see the Art in Bloom presentation and Anselm Kiefer's enormous paintings.

There was no shortage of inspiration with the floral arrangements designed based on pieces like paintings and objects that are part of the museum's collection. I was so happy surrounded by so many flowers and paintings because they're some of my favorite things!

I also want to take another close look at Anselm Kiefer's work "Becoming the Sea," a German painter and sculptor whose work is impressive in terms of size and style.













After the tour, Valentina and I went to draw and watercolor while we ate some snacks and enjoyed the weather and the artistic introspection we had just experienced.

My next paintings will be inspired in flowers, eyes and wings. My main idea was born because my love gave me some beautiful roses (flowers), we saw an amazing sunset (eyes), and I thought to paint all the key elements that I will explain eventually as my painting progress.

Also we saw some huge trunks that were tore down due a tornado last year, and I could not avoid to see them as part of a natural and beautiful installation.








I filmed a short video about the botanical show and the paintings.
