Today I was exploring art via internet to get the ideas for my new photo project. And then... I discovered this artist that impressed me! 2 or 3 years ago I had an idea to paint on shoes. Yeah, I already paint on shoes, but I had the other type of idea :) I wanted to put 100 pairs of shoes on the wall and then paint. It would be an enormous painting and also so non precise - but because of that it would be great. But I didn't do it, I don't know why. I was considering the idea with my ex room mate, also a painter and we attributed that "silly" idea to our tiredness and maybe non-sleeping for a week because the exams so I didn't realize it. And then... I discovered this fenomenal artist today. He paints on the books. Yeah, you read well - not the books, on the books! 

This Californian artist uses ink, acrylic paint and colored pencils to show his creativity. He paints not only on the vintage paper, but on the books directly! His installation paintings (I really don't know how to call them, I'm amused!) can be big almost as a room where are exposed.

His illustration and a little bit Tim Burton style impressed me. And the use of unconventional technique as well! He combines illustration with the books - it goes really great together. Of course I can define it as an idea how 2 arts can go perfectly together. I love books (without the book I think I couldn't live!) and I say very often: "The people who doesn't read aren't people". And it's true.
So this genial artist combined 2 things that I looove ❤ ❤ ❤ and made the coolest thing that I've seen in a while...
I love this horror-Tim Burtonish style of his works. I connect this style with a haunting house with a great library that have some secret hallway behind :) And I think that he wanted to arouse such a feeling. Ok, I said enough times that I love his art. 
I go back to work now.❦

Hello, my friends!

I don't really write blogs. I wrote it one time I think and it didn't have success :) 
Now I'm in Vienna and I wanted to tell everyone that this city is really beautiful and different from Bologna where I live in the last couple of years. 
I like Bologna, it's so Italian and everything, but Vienna is so cold and "snowish" and romantic and everything. Because of that, I made an album only Vienna in my photography section.

I love this city because the people know english. Geez, I remember in Bologna (that it's profoundly in my ❤) when I arrived there for the first time... Nobody talked in english and if you wanted to take a coffee to go, it was impossible! So I HAD TO speak in italian that I barely know at the time... But now I see it as a plus - I learnt italian so fast (and furious :D)
In Vienna I saw so many strangers on the streets. There are so much international students. In Bologna too, I like that thing. But now, I'm a bit older and I would like to work in an international environment. I see that here is possible and I'm happy about that. I don't really live here already, but I will, I hope :) Yeah, I would really love to live here. Look at this picture. It's sooo romantic. ❤

I like the old trams in Vienna. They are so retro and artistic and I feel like I'm in a some passed time, in 60s or something. The thing that fascinates me the most is that they installed the bottons for the stops. So, there's this contact of the modern with the history. And I love it.
I also loved the colors. I feel like autumn when I enter. The better thing is that there's snow out, and when you look through the windows, you see all white and clean and perfect.
I think Vienna is really a retro city. So much history, so much beautiful architecture, so much small streets (gasse) to find.. ❦
