My husband and I are no art connoisserus. We bought paintings within our budjet and taste, as souvenirs from our stay or visits in South America. Gradually they became a collection. Sometimes the frames cost more than the paintings.
The two paintings I am showing here are by a Colombian collage artist called Carlose. They represent a protest against poverty.
Two homeless boys adrift. Their clothes are pieces of fabric.
It's a rather large painting. You can see the miniature on the bottom of the frame.
Made of various pieces of wood, carton, etc. We actually saw real ones like this.
1:1 size painting with the miniature 1:12 at the bottom right side of the frame.
I am making progress with the frames. I'll soon have to do something about the box.
Have a wonderful Sunday with blessings to all.

Madre mia!!!,Drora no sabria cuale elegir,una coleccion fantastica,un beso.Rosa.
ReplyDeleteI have always enjoyed looking at the real paintings in contrast with the minis :).
ReplyDeleteYou have done a great job with the framing. I totally get you when you say the frames cost more than the paintings. One time I spent what I considered way too much on a painting. I was so disgusted with myself that I left it rolled up in the tube I :). came home with for the next 4 years When I shifted recently, the walls in my office was perfect for the painting. and I finally took it out:).
Потрясающе какие картины интересные. и жизненные !!! Hugs

Wonderful, Drora.

I think that's the best intention any collection can have - collecting what you like. These two paintings in mixed media are stunning and very touching.

It's not how much we pay for a painting that matters, it's what the painting means to us. I had a painting once that I had purchased in a garage sale and it had a gorgeous frame. It was a pastoral scene with a road that ascended and disappeared. I loved looking at that painting and it made me happy. Nobody else liked it. Finally, I gave it away and I have always regretted it.
ReplyDeleteSorry Drora, I forgot to mention how lovely your paintings are!You've very talented and I always enjoy seeing what you make!
ReplyDeleteDrora,your paintings has something to say... Your paintings, minis and big are all a real trasures. -Thank you Drora for your lovely words to me on my blog!♥

Drora me tienes impresionada, no sabía que pintabas tan bien, si las 1:1 son bonitas las miniaturas son preciosas, te felicito.
ReplyDeleteHo appena letto i tuoi ultimi post e il tuo novo progetto mi sembra davvero molto interessante e soprattutto originale. Anche io adoro l'arte, e devo dire che questi quadri sono molto belli, sia per i colori che per i soggetti che rappresentano. Le tue riproduzioni sono a dir poco impressionanti, si riescono a vedere tutti i particolari nonostante le piccole dimensioni! Bellissimo progetto, un bacio,
ReplyDeleteMely
Son fantásticas estas obras!!
ReplyDeleteTanto las grandes como las miniaturas, son realmente bonitas.
Me asombra el realismo y el parecido que consigues en las reproducciones, Drora, son fabulosas!
Feliz semana y un abrazo.
