THE CIRCLE OF LIFE

The Circle Of life

 

There is always something in our life that makes us inspired, creative and impressive. People say it is art that makes you free to think and also dream. For myself, I always thought it should be what makes you creative and inspired. Inspiration comes from what you are surrounded by, and what you connect your life to. I found art and my interests help me think about my future,connect my interests, and love what I am doing in my life. I appreciate above all what I am connected to.

MARY CASSAT

Mary Cassat, Woman in Black at the Opera, 1879: This is my favorite piece I have ever seen in my life. I felt an incredibly strong connection, mysterious feelings with this painting when I first saw it. The woman in the painting is so powerful and strong, it makes one feel so interested about her life, and to imagine yourself in her place. Her colors are so dramatic, it shows you the emotion the artist tried to express for the audience. Mary Cassat was not able to show that she was a woman painting in her time, and I could feel all the tension in her work; even hidden emotions.

Edward Munch/The Scream

 

Edvard Munch, The Scream, 1893

 

This incredible piece was made in pastel, oil, and tempera. When I look at it, the fear stirring inside me, I feel goosebumps just looking at. I can not imagine what would happen with me If I saw it in real life. Reading about The Scream in several different sources I was fascinated about its faith. It was stolen many times from different owners, and it brought several families very bad luck. It is very mysterious, and at the same time difficult to digest for your psychology. When I look into these deep colors of orange and blue, my mind gets confused, and it tells me that it is time to stop looking. It brings me a feeling of deep grief and depression. But nothing will change my weird love to this painting.

ROY LICHTENSTEIN

Oh Roy Lichtenshtein Oh, Jeff…I love You, Too…But… I just love Pop Art from the earliest days of my childhood, from looking into magazines with all these interesting cartoony pictures. I have read that it all represents ” a fantasy drama” of a woman who was in trouble with a dominant man who caused them a lot of trouble and of course too much drama. This girl/women looks frustrated and miserable, probably feeling that something is not working in her relationships with her lover. Who knows what is represented? I don’t know, but I can only look and see all the emotions she shows us. Lichtenshtein represented this woman in a very interested sensual look, she is blond and her face is very soft-her lips are very big and she looks so attractive. That was his thing in the 60s, and it seems like something people were in to.

Yellow Diamond/Audrey Hepburn/Tiffany's

Tiffany Yellow Diamond… I heard from my wonderful mother who actually saw this “famous” diamond in Dubai, UAE in 2012. Tiffany’s brought this incredible diamond outside of the United States for the first time since 1964. When I watched “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” I did not pay much attention to it, but when my mother told me about this magnificent piece I started to research it. It was discovered in South Africa, as most diamonds come from there, and it is the largest diamond as well as the most valuable in the world. I think diamonds, along with other precious stones are a form of art, it is truly a masterpiece of nature; how hard people worked to create this specific shape, and I am sure it takes days of work to polish stones into something that one could sell or wear. 

Pink Panther

It is my favorite cartoon, me and my 7 y.o sister can watch it all day long.

HERMES BAG

Birkin Bag: This bag inspired me with the history of how it was created. From Jane Birkin who once was seated next to Jean-Louis Dumas, the Chief Executive Officer of Hermes in 1981. They were flying together from London to Paris. Jane Birkin was known to carry her straw bag which was obviously open, and everything could fall out of it, or be visible to everyone around. That day when they were seated next to one another, she tried to put her straw bag in the overhead compartment of her seat but it didn’t work, all of her things fell onto the ground. This moment is said to have inspired Mr. Dumas to design the timeless, and appropriately named, Birkin Bag.
