A tribute to Ramon y Cahal It is suggested that the practice of neurographic drawing increases brain’s synaptic activity, neuronal connections and ‘regenerative’ processes (although there is no a single trace of scientific evidence for this contention). Nevertheless, it is not far fetched to think that it could contribute to a wellbeing and might be […]

Individuality
Neurographic(a) Installation Neurographic(a) was designed to explore our individual (subconscious) and help us build balanced relationships with outside world. On our artistic trip towards bigger concept, we will start with exactly that…our individualities – colorful or thoughtful, exuberant or subdued, each precious… We will unleash our creativity in individual neurographic drawings and then link them […]
A short stop
Photography Trains and train stations – new destinations and adventure, farewells and separations, sometimes ominous signals of tragic fates, like that of Anna Karenina. From glorious Central Stations with imposing gallery halls to ultra modern multi-level concrete mazes dispatching fast trains of Japan and China…Rural Japan train stations, small and old – tired farmers, kids […]
Licitar Hearts
Crafts and jewelry Love, love, love…all we need is love… Love in hearts…perhaps some arrows? Love in jewelry, the best demonstration of the ever-lasting commitment! Oh, this is not a cynical take on Valentine, not at all! It is just an innocent introduction of our small Valentine show (of hearts and jewelry). Colors brought into […]
Impermanence
Acrylic pouring Time, for humans, defines the beginning and the end. Everything transpires, inevitably. Although we are utterly obsessed with passage (and lack of) time, we rarely think about the concepts that define the time for us (animals mostly have no ‘sense’ of time). There is nothing permanent; one would think that impermanence is the […]
Dimensions
Clay sculptures and figurines Unlike paintings that create an illusion of space, objects occupy space. You can view them all around, front, back, side; they are palpably 3D. Figurative or abstract, sculpture is all about dimensions. Space and our place in it. Objects relate to each other and can be used in 3D installations. These interactions […]
Spain of Art
Life story and paintings of Maria Blanchard Spain, the crossroad of civilizations and religions, the country of gypsies and flamenco, the hotbed of art and architecture. Think the court art of Velazquez, nudes and ghosts of de Goya, elongated El Greco. At the helm of avantgarde, creating a history of artistic innovation, Pablo, Salvador, Huan. […]
Acrylic paintings We experience a sensory overload of colors daily without giving much thought about their ‘meaning’. The color blue represents both the sky and the sea and is associated with open spaces, freedom, intuition, imagination, inspiration, and sensitivity. Blue is depth, trust, loyalty, sincerity, wisdom, confidence, stability, faith, and intelligence. Blue triggers the body […]
Artist’s Statement
Alcohol Ink Paintings I thought that artist’s creations ‘speak for themselves’. And they likely ‘speak’ different things to different people. In some socially engaged art, artist’s message may be blatantly apparent; in other cases it is open for a range of emotional or intellectual reactions that shape its meaning. We don’t need to know verbatim […]
Need not Be an Orchid
Photography Nature is an endless art inspiration. Some of nature wonders flirt with us, inviting our admiration with overt display of beauty. Some are hidden, blended into an everyday view, modest, requiring a keen and observant eye to discover. Sumac varieties live in both subtropical and harsh northern climates. Northern (Staghorn) sumac is not an […]
