This past weekend, I went to the Affordable Art Fair in New York City, featuring local and international exhibitors showcasing original and contemporary art from $100 to $10,000. I was lucky enough to meet up with
Corina Alvarezdelugo, an artist I met through
LaWendula's infamous art swaps.
Here's Corina beside some of her beautifully textured encaustic artwork.
I was enthralled with the work of
Juan Manuel Pajares- a member of
Art for Progress who is a master at combining the elements of advertising, politics and street life. Here is some of his work.
When I look at his work,
I feel such a connection to the textures and backgrounds on the streets of New York City as seen by some of my photos below...
His work also reminded me of some of my own artwork!
Perhaps that's why I liked it so much- drawn to it- making a connection. We all have attractions to art, words, sounds, people and our environment- a kaleidoscope of stimulus that we react to and with. What creates your inspiration? What inspires you to create?
