Designer loves art...26...Leonid Afremov

when it rains, and you have the real opportunity to watch the rain, see how it distorts color, how it reflect light. something magical happens.
this is Leonid Afremov
he is very talented in capturing that magical moment, his use of color is impressive without brush strokes and use of a palette-knife, and a little unpolished paintings
he gets it just right.

Designer loves art...23..Frida Kahlo

this week its Mexico's 200 year celebration of independence so we are going to talk about Mexican artist, specially a woman painter
recognized all over the world
this is Freda Kahlo
Freda didn't have an easy life, she married Diego Rivera and had a stormy relationship with him,
as well as she having bad health and not being able to have a child made many of her paintings to at least say
disturbing, yet her ability to manipulate color and the raw emotion of each piece make her unforgettable.
