Alecio de Andrade. Louvre and its visitors.

My choice for today is a mix of two sides of art that I am highly attracted to. Photography and painting. The way Brazilian photographer Alecio de Andrade captures the essence of the moment becomes powerful given the chosen location: a museum.
People- their movements and reactions, sitting, walking, starring- and the angles of the photos arouse an emotion in me when looking at the walls. Walls that also breath their own stories- that passed and yet are there for us to  cut slices of them, take them home inside our mind, heart and memories.
We actually exist as a reaction in others. Art is a way of finding a corridor into somebody's private universe.

Kasia Derwinska. Reflections of soul.

La esperanza se muere la última.
At a first sight, I had the impression that Kasia Derwinska's photos are tragic. Pessimistic. Beautiful. Still sad.
It's been already more than one year since I discovered her in the digital artist universe. And now, looking at her creations, I can sense a deeper meaning, an inner reflection of one's self in an artificial solitude.

DailyArt -Daily Dose of Art

I want to share with you one of the methods I use for developing my knowledge of paintings and painters.
DailyArt - Daily Dose of Art App from Google Play is such an amazing way for indulging myself into different bites of fine art that were very carefully chosen. The application publishes one fine art item per day-it includes a very good resolution painting, together with its name, year of creation and painter. It is one of the 12 best educational apps of 2012 according to The Next Web.
But what makes this application so great is the description of the painting, the short and yet meaningful details of what it stands behind its conception.  I absolutely appreciate that the descriptions are not copied from wikipedia, but written by Zuzanna Stanska and her team. Zuzanna is the founder of DailyArt; she is truly an art admirer and enthusiast. I started following her on Instagram as well and discovered her usual life rotating around museums, theaters, wines, nature, friends.
We are incredibly lucky to live in a miracle period and benefit of the technology's help in reaching not only inspiring people, but also accessing an enormous online library full of relevant information. Information and data that few decades ago implied scholars traveling to different countries, spending days reading books available only in those specific libraries, taking notes since there was no xerox, and, prior to these, learning foreign languages so they could understand the materials,
