Back to my self

In my whole life my biggest hobbies and interests always been very creative. Since I can remember I've been painting, at home, in the evenings at art courses, in school and later on I chose an art high school. I was dreaming about continuing and try to get in to the big art schools in Sweden or London, but then something happened... I started to model, got away from my inner self and to survive in a world where I didn't really belong got more important.
The last year I felt an urge to start again, but after almost ten years without practicing I got scared. Afraid I'll not be able anymore, that I lost the skill. But then yesterday I got my self a starting kit and I have now prepared everything. I can finally start!

Vintage summer party!

New type of fashion art

My brother sent this website to me and it's just too cool what modern clothes can do to classical sculptures!

Peggy Guggenheim

An other eccentric and inspiring woman was Peggy Guggenheim. She was a bohemian and socialite american woman borne in to a wealthy family. During her years she created a big and famous art collection primarily between 1938 and 1946. In 1949 after some years in Europe she moved her whole collection to Venice in Italy and opened up for the public. Peggy died in Venice in 1979.
I just love her for her strong business mind and for her cool style. Love her glasses!!!

Even found a very old picture of me from Swedish Elle 2006 with Peggy's glasses :)

Man Ray

I got so happy when I found a photo book with Man Ray's art on a flea market last sunday. He is one of my favorite artists and I almost get goose bumps looking at his pieces. It atracts me so much his way of capturing sadness, eroticism, mysticism and oriental influences.

Man Ray was born as Emmanuel Radinzky in Pennsylania 1890 but lived most of his life in France where he worked as a modernist artist and became a significant contributor to the Dada and Surrealist movements.
At the age of 27 he started to take pictures of his own art and from there on he got in to experimenting with different lights and subjects. He got most famous for his Avant Garde photography and as a fashion and portrait photographer.
Man Ray died in Paris 1976.

My lovely book, so happy :)

Naked women in art

I can't get enough of the female body whe it comes to art. It inspires me so much and I have to fight with my self to not buy every art piece I find...
